Genesis 31:44-54

44Come now, let’s make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between us.” 45So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar. 46He said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and piled them in a heap, and they ate there by the heap.

47Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed. The Aramaic Jegar Sahadutha and the Hebrew Galeed both mean witness heap. 48Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and me today.” That is why it was called Galeed. 49It was also called Mizpah, Mizpah means watchtower. because he said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other.

50If you mistreat my daughters or if you take any wives besides my daughters, even though no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.” 51Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is this heap, and here is this pillar I have set up between you and me. 52This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this heap to your side to harm you and that you will not go past this heap and pillar to my side to harm me.

53May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob took an oath in the name of the Fear of his father Isaac.

54He offered a sacrifice there in the hill country and invited his relatives to a meal. After they had eaten, they spent the night there.
