47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
48 And Laban said, a“This heap is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore its name was called Galeed,
49 also aMizpah, because he said, “May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from another.
50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us—see, God is witness between you and me!”
51 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Here is this heap and here is this pillar, which I have placed between you and me.
52 This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
