Read Genesis 31.22-55. In verse 32: Jacob unknowingly predicts what will happen to Rachel. She will soon die prematurely in childbirth (35.16-20). In verse 35: The way of women refers to her menstrual period. In verses 47-48: The site for the boundary covenant or agreement between Jacob and Laban has two names. One name, Jegar-sahadutha, means "the heap of witness "in Aramaic language spoken by Laban the Aramean (25.20). the other name for the same site, Galeed, also means "the heap of witness," but in the Hebrew language spoken by Jacob. The names refer to the heap of stones that mark the boundary between Laban's Arameans and Jacob's Israelites. In verse 49: Laban names the pillar Mizpah, meaning "watchpost." Comments or Questions..
