41 내가 외삼촌의 집에 거한 이 이십년에 외삼촌의 두 딸을 위하여 십 사년, 외삼촌의 양떼를 위하여 육년을 외삼촌을 봉사하였거니와 외삼촌께서 내 품값을 열번이나 변역하셨으니

4203. 'Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have erected between me and you' means a joining together. This is clear from what has been stated above. Indeed the heap and the pillar served as a sign and a witness that a covenant had been made, that is, they were a sign of and witness to friendship; and so in the internal sense a joining together is meant.
