Genesis 31:44-48
44Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
45So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar, 46and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate. 47Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.1
48Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.”
Therefore the place was called Galeed.
Notes
- 1. Genesis 31:47 The Aramaic Jegar-sahadutha and the Hebrew Galeed both mean heap of witnesses. ↩
