45 So Jacob took a stone and set it up for a pillar. 46 And Jacob said to his brethren. Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap; and they did eat there upon the heap. 47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha (the Pillar of Witness); but Jacob called it Galead (Gilead). 48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and you this day. Therefore he called its name Galead. 49 And a watchtower; for he said. Let the LORD watch between me and you, because we are parting one from another. 50 If you despise my daughters, or if you shall take other wives besides my daughters, now no man is with us; see, God only is witness between me and you. 51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have set between me and you; 52 This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this pillar against you, and that you also shall not pass over this pillar against me or this heap for harm.
