Genesis 31:51

51 dixitque rursus ad Iacob en tumulus hic et lapis quem erexi inter me et te

Genesis 31:51 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:51

And Laban said to Jacob
Continued speaking to him, as follows: behold this heap, and behold [this] pillar which I have cast betwixt
me and thee;
the heap of stones seems to be gathered and laid together by the brethren, and the pillar to be erected by Jacob; and yet Laban says of them both, that he cast them, or erected them, they being done by his order, or with his consent, as well as Jacob's; unless the pillar can be thought to design another beside that which Jacob set up, and was like that, a single stone at some little distance from the heap: but the Samaritan and Arabic versions read, "which thou hast seen or set" agreeably to ( Genesis 31:45 ) .

50 si adflixeris filias meas et si introduxeris uxores alias super eas nullus sermonis nostri testis est absque Deo qui praesens respicit
51 dixitque rursus ad Iacob en tumulus hic et lapis quem erexi inter me et te
52 testis erit tumulus inquam iste et lapis sint in testimonio si aut ego transiero illum pergens ad te aut tu praeterieris malum mihi cogitans
53 Deus Abraham et Deus Nahor iudicet inter nos Deus patris eorum iuravit Iacob per Timorem patris sui Isaac
