PeaceConflict and reconciliation

53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
