Genesis 31:44-52 ▼

44 So now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between the two of us. |And he said to him, |Look, there is no one with us; see, God is witness between me and you.|

45 Jacob took a stone, and set it up as a standing-stone.

46 Jacob said to his relatives, |Gather stones.|So they took stones and made a mound. They ate there by the mound.

47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

48 Laban said, |This mound is a witness between me and you today.| Therefore it was named Galeed

49 and Mizpah, for he said, |God watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.

50 If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one is with us; see, God is witness between me and you.|

51 Laban said to Jacob, |See this mound, and see the standing-stone, which I have set between me and you.

52 May this mound be a witness, and the standing-stone be a witness, that I will not pass over this mound to you, and that you will not pass over this mound and this standing-stone to me, to do harm.
