Genesis 31:44–54

⁴⁴Now therefore, come, ^qlet us make a ⁸covenant, ^ryou and I, and let it be a witness between you and me.”

⁴⁵So Jacob ^stook a stone and set it up as a pillar. ⁴⁶Then Jacob said to his brethren, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap. ⁴⁷Laban called it ⁹Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it ¹Galeed. ⁴⁸And Laban said, ^t“This heap is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore its name was called Galeed, ⁴⁹also ^uMizpah, ²because he said, “May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from another. ⁵⁰If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us—see, God is witness between you and me!”

⁵¹Then Laban said to Jacob, “Here is this heap and here is this pillar, which I have placed between you and me. ⁵²This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. ⁵³The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their father ^vjudge between us.” And Jacob ^wswore by ^xthe ³Fear of his father Isaac. ⁵⁴Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread. And they ate bread and stayed all night on the mountain.
