Génesis 31:50-55

50 Si tú maltratas a mis hijas o te casas con otras mujeres, Dios lo verá aunque nadie más lo vea. Él es testigo de este pacto entre nosotros.

51 »Mira este montículo de piedras —continuó Labán— y mira esta columna conmemorativa que he levantado entre nosotros.

52 Están entre tú y yo como testigos de nuestros votos. Yo nunca cruzaré este montículo de piedras para hacerte daño, y tú nunca debes cruzar estas piedras o esta columna conmemorativa para hacerme daño.

53 Invoco al Dios de nuestros antepasados —el Dios de tu abuelo Abraham y el Dios de mi abuelo Nacor— para que sea juez entre nosotros».
Entonces Jacob juró, delante del temible Dios de su padre Isaac,
respetar la línea fronteriza.

54 Luego Jacob ofreció un sacrificio a Dios allí en el monte e invitó a todos a un banquete para celebrar el pacto. Después de comer, pasaron la noche en el monte.

55 Labán se levantó temprano a la mañana siguiente, besó a sus nietos y a sus hijas, y los bendijo. Después se marchó y regresó a su casa.

Génesis 31:50-55 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 31

This chapter relates how that Jacob observing that Laban and his sons envied his prosperity, and having a call from God to return to his own country, acquaints his wives with it; and reports to them Laban's ill usage of him, and the wonderful appearance of God to him, and for him, and his orders to him to depart from thence, Ge 31:1-13; to which they agreed, knowing full well their father's unkindness, and that they had nothing to expect from him, and therefore judged it best to go off with what they had got through the gift of God unto them, Ge 31:14-16; upon which Jacob set out privately, with all he had, towards his own country, while Laban was shearing his sheep, Ge 31:17-21; three days after, Laban, being informed of it, pursued after Jacob, and overtook him at Mount Gilead; but was warned by the way to be cautious what he said to him, Ge 31:22-25; yet nevertheless he warmly expostulated with him about his secret flight, not giving him the opportunity of taking his leave of his children, and especially for taking away his gods, Ge 31:26-30; to which Jacob gave an answer, Ge 31:31-35; and in his turn was warm likewise, and chided Laban severely for his hot pursuit of him, his charge of stealth, when he could find nothing on him, his hard labour for the space of twenty years with him, and his ill requital of him for it, Ge 31:36-42; however, upon the whole, an amicable agreement was made between them, and they parted in a friendly manner, Ge 31:43-55.
