Genesis 31:44–54

⁴⁴Come now, ^jlet us make a covenant, you and I. ^kAnd let it be a witness between you and me.” ⁴⁵So Jacob ^ltook a stone and set it up as a pillar. ⁴⁶And Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap. ⁴⁷Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha,⁴ but Jacob called it Galeed.^{5 48}Laban said, ^m“This heap is a witness between you and me today.” Therefore he named it Galeed, ⁴⁹ⁿand Mizpah,⁶ for he said, “The Lord watch between you and me, when we are out of one another’s sight. ⁵⁰If you oppress my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one is with us, see, ^oGod is witness between you and me.”

⁵¹Then Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap and the pillar, which I have set between you and me. ^52pThis heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, to do harm. ⁵³The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the ^qFear of his father Isaac, ⁵⁴and Jacob offered a sacrifice in the hill country and called ^rhis kinsmen to eat bread. They ate bread and spent the night in the hill country.
