Genesis 31:44-52 ▼

44 So now come, let us cut a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between you and me.”

45 Then Jacob took a stone and raised it up as a pillar.

46 And Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.

47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

48 Then Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore it was named Galeed,

49 and Mizpah, for he said, “May Yahweh watch between you and me when we are absent one from the other.

50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us, see, God is witness between you and me.”

51 And Laban said to Jacob, “Behold this heap and behold the pillar which I have set between you and me.

52 This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass by this heap to you for harm, and you will not pass by this heap and this pillar to me for harm.
