Thus have I been .xx. year in thy house / and served thee .xiiij. years for thy .ij. daughters / and vi. year for thy sheep / and thou hast changed my reward .x. times. And except the God of my father / the God of Abraham and the God who me Isaac feareth / had been with me: surely thou haddest sent me away now all empty. But God beheld my tribulation / and the labour of my hands: and rebuked the yester day.
Thus haue I bene .xx. yere in thi house / and serued the .xiiij. yeres for thy .ij. doughters / and vi. yere for thi shepe / and thou hast changed my rewarde .x. tymes. And excepte the God of my father / the God of Abrahā and the God who me Isaac feareth / had bene with me: surely thou haddest sent me awaye now all emptie. But God behelde my tribulation / and the laboure of my handes: and rebuked the yester daye.
Laban answered and said unto Jacob: the daughters are my daughters / and the children or my children / and the sheep are my sheep / and all that thou seest is mine. And what can I do this day unto these my daughters / or unto their children which they have borne? Now therefore come on / let us make a bond / I and thou together / and let it be a witness between the & me. Than toke Jacob a stone and set it up an end / and said unto his brethren / gather stones And they toke stones and made an heap / and they ate there / upon the heap. And Laban called • beggar Sahadutha / but Jacob called it Gilead.
Laban answered ād sayde vnto Iacob: the doughters are my doughters / and the childern or my childern / and the shepe are my shepe / ād all that thou seist is myne. And what can I do this daye vnto these my doughters / or vnto their childern which they haue borne? Now therfore come on / let us make a bonde / I and thou together / and let it be a wytnesse betwene the & me. Than toke Iacob a stone and sett it vp an ende / ād sayde vnto his brethern / gather stoones And they toke stoones ād made an heape / and they ate there / vpō the heape. And Labā called • •egar Sahadutha / but Iacob called it Gylead.
