44ComeH1980 nowH6258, let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285, youH859 and IH589, and let it serve asH1961 a witnessH5707 between you and meH996.”
45So JacobH3290 picked outH3947 a stoneH68 and set it upH7311 as a pillarH4676, 46andH3290 he saidH559 to his relativesH251, “GatherH3950 some stonesH68.” So they tookH3947 stonesH68 and madeH6213 a moundH1530, and thereH8033 byH5921 the moundH1530 they ateH398. 47LabanH3837 called itH7121 Jegar-sahaduthaH3026, and JacobH3290 called itH7121 GaleedH1567.1
48Then LabanH3837 declaredH559, “ThisH2088 moundH1530 is a witnessH5707 between youH996 and meH996 this dayH3117.”
ThereforeH5921H3651 the place was calledH7121H8034 GaleedH1567.
