Genesis 31:44–54

⁴⁴Now, let’s make an agreement and let it stand as a witness between you and me.” 

⁴⁵Jacob took a stone and set it up as a marker. ⁴⁶Then Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” They took stones, put them into a pile, and ate there by the pile of stones. ⁴⁷⸤In his language⸥ Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha ^[Witness Pile^[, but Jacob called it Galeed.^c

⁴⁸Laban said, “This pile of stones stands as a witness between you and me today.” This is why it was named Galeed ⁴⁹and also Mizpah ^[Watchtower^[, because he said, “May the Lord watch between you and me when we’re unable to see each other. ⁵⁰If you mistreat my daughters or marry other women behind my back, remember that God stands as a witness between you and me.” 

⁵¹Laban said to Jacob, “Here is the pile of stones, and here is the marker that I have set up between you and me. ⁵²This pile of stones and this marker stand as witnesses that I will not go past the pile of stones to harm you, and that you will not go past the pile of stones or marker to harm me. ⁵³May the God of Abraham and Nahor—the God of their father—judge between us.” 

So Jacob swore this oath by the Fear of his father Isaac ⁵⁴and offered a sacrifice on the mountain. He invited his relatives to eat the meal with him. They ate with him and spent the night on the mountain.^d
