Genesis 31:42
RBT Translation:
If not elohe of my father, elohe of Father-of-Tumult, and the dread of He-Laughs, have become to-myself, then now empty you have sent me forth; אֶת-my misery and אֶת-the work of my palms elohim has seen, and is justifying yesternight.`1014
LITV Translation:
Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, truly now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my palm, and last night He judged.
