Genesis 31:47-55 ▼

47 and Laban calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.

48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;

49 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one another;

50 if you afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters—there is no man with us—see, God [is] witness between me and you.”

51 And Laban says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;

52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap to you, and that you do not pass over this heap and this standing pillar to me—for evil;

53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears by the Fear of his father Isaac.

54 And Jacob sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on the mountain;

55 and Laban rises early in the morning, and kisses his sons and his daughters, and blesses them; and Laban goes on, and turns back to his place.
