44 And now, come, let us cut a covenant, I and you; and let it be a witness between me and between you.” 45 And Jacob took a stone and raised it up as a pillar. 46 And Jacob said to his brothers, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap. 47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed. 48 And Laban said, “This is the heap—a witness between me and between you today.” Upon thus he called its name Galeed, 49 and Mizpah, because he said, “May YHWH watch between me and between you when we are hidden one from another. 50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us, see that God is witness between me and between you.” 51 And Laban said to Jacob, “Behold, this is the heap, and behold, the pillar that I have placed between me and between you. 52 This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for evil.
