If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives besides my daughters; no man is with us; See, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.
If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take other women to be your wives, even if no one tells me about it, don’t forget that God sees what you and I are doing!”

Context — Jacob’s Covenant with Laban
48Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
49It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.
50If you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, although no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.”
51Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me. 52This mound is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this mound to harm you, and you will not go past this mound and pillar to harm me.Cross References

Genesis 31:50 Summary
This verse, Genesis 31:50, is a reminder that God is always watching and is a witness to our actions and agreements, even when no one else is around. Laban is warning Jacob to treat his daughters with respect and kindness, and to not take any other wives, because God is watching and will hold him accountable. This is an important principle for all of our relationships, as seen in verses like Ephesians 5:25-33 and Genesis 2:24, where we are called to love and care for one another as God loves and cares for us. By remembering that God is a witness to our actions, we can strive to live with integrity and honesty, and to treat others with the respect and kindness that they deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main concern of Laban in Genesis 31:50?
Laban's main concern is that Jacob will mistreat his daughters or take other wives, and he reminds Jacob that God is a witness to their agreement, as seen in Genesis 31:50 and also in Genesis 29:18 where Jacob's love for Rachel is first mentioned.
Why does Laban mention that no one is with them in Genesis 31:50?
Laban mentions that no one is with them to emphasize that even though there are no human witnesses, God is still watching and is a witness to their agreement, similar to the concept in Proverbs 15:3 where it says 'The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good'.
What is the significance of God being a witness between Laban and Jacob?
God being a witness between Laban and Jacob signifies that their agreement is not just a human contract, but a divine covenant, with God as the ultimate judge and enforcer, as seen in Genesis 31:49 where Laban says 'May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other'.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the Bible's teaching on marriage and relationships?
This verse relates to the rest of the Bible's teaching on marriage and relationships by emphasizing the importance of treating one's spouse with respect and kindness, as seen in Ephesians 5:25-33 where husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church, and in Genesis 2:24 where marriage is first instituted by God as a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I can apply the principle of God being a witness to my relationships, and how can I ensure that my actions and words are pleasing to Him?
- How can I, like Laban, prioritize the well-being and safety of those under my care, and what are some practical steps I can take to do so?
- In what ways can I, like Jacob, demonstrate my commitment to my loved ones and to God, and what are some areas where I need to grow in my faithfulness?
- What are some potential consequences of not treating others with respect and kindness, and how can I avoid these pitfalls in my own relationships?
Gill's Exposition on Genesis 31:50
If thou shall afflict my daughters,.... In body or mind, by giving them hard blows, or ill words, and by withholding from them the necessaries of life, food and raiment, and the like: or if thou
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 31:50
If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. God is witness betwixt me and thee.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 31:50
The curse is here understood, as it commonly is, to maintain a greater reverence for oaths, and to beget a greater dread of the curse belonging to the violaters of it. No man is with us, i.e. here is now no man with us, who when we are parted can witness and judge between us, and punish the transgressor. Or thus, Though now we have many with us, as witnesses of this agreement, yet shortly, when we shall be parted, no man will be with us, to observe and report our actions to the other, or to do the injured person right.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 31:50
Genesis 31:50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take [other] wives beside my daughters, no man [is] with us; see, God [is] witness betwixt me and thee. Ver. 50.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 31:50
Verse 50. No man is with us] Though all were present at the sacrifice offered, yet it appears that in making the contract Jacob and Laban withdrew, and transacted the business in private, calling on God to witness it. Jacob had already four wives; but Laban feared that he might take others, whose children would naturally come in for a share of the inheritance to the prejudice of his daughters and grandchildren. Though the Koran allows a man to have four wives if he can maintain them, yet we learn that in many cases where a man takes a wife, the parents or relatives of the woman stipulate that the man is not to take another during the lifetime of that one whom he now espouses; and notwithstanding the permission of the Koran, he is obliged to fulfil this agreement.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 31:50
50. wives beside my daughters] So that Leah and Rachel may not be exposed to the risk of any indignity. “Afflict,” cf. “dealt hardly” (Genesis 16:6).
