Genesis 31:45-52

45And JacobH3290 tookH3947 a stoneH68, and set it up for a pillarH4676. 46And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his brethren, GatherH3950 stonesH68; and they tookH3947 stonesH68, and madeH6213 a heapH1530: and they did eatH398 there by the heapH1530. 47And LabanH3837 calledH7121 it Jegar-saha-dutha: but JacobH3290 calledH7121 it GaleedH1567. 48And LabanH3837 saidH559, This heapH1530 is witnessH5707 between me and thee this dayH3117. ThereforeH3651 was the nameH8034 of it calledH7121 GaleedH1567: 49and MizpahH4709, for he saidH559, Jehovah watchH6822 between me and thee, when we are absent oneH376 from another. 50If thou shalt afflictH6031 my daughtersH1323, and if thou shalt takeH3947 wivesH802 besides my daughtersH1323, no manH376 is with us; seeH7200, GodH430 is witnessH5707 betwixt me and thee. 51And LabanH3837 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Behold this heapH1530, and behold the pillarH4676, which I have set betwixt me and thee. 52This heapH1530 be witnessH5707, and the pillarH4676 be witnessH5707, that I will not passH5674 over this heapH1530 to thee, and that thou shalt not passH5674 over this heapH1530 and this pillarH4676 unto me, for harmH7451.
