Genesis 31:42 in Context — Genesis 31
40 La chaleur me dévorait pendant le jour, et le froid pendant la nuit, et le sommeil fuyait de mes yeux.
41 Voilà vingt ans que j’ai passés dans ta maison; je t’ai servi quatorze ans pour tes deux filles, et six ans pour ton troupeau, et tu as changé dix fois mon salaire.
42 Si je n’eusse pas eu pour moi le Dieu de mon père, le Dieu d’Abraham, celui que craint Isaac, tu m’aurais maintenant renvoyé à vide. Dieu a vu ma souffrance et le travail de mes mains, et hier il a prononcé son jugement.
43 Laban répondit, et dit à Jacob: Ces filles sont mes filles, ces enfants sont mes enfants, ce troupeau est mon troupeau, et tout ce que tu vois est à moi. Et que puis-je faire aujourd’hui pour mes filles, ou pour leurs enfants qu’elles ont mis au monde?
44 Viens, faisons alliance, moi et toi, et que cela serve de témoignage entre moi et toi!
