Genesis 31:49-53

49It was also called MizpahH4709,1 becauseH834 Laban saidH559, “May the LORDH3068 keep watchH6822 between youH996 and meH996 whenH3588 we are absentH5641 from each otherH7453H376. 50IfH518 you mistreatH6031 my daughtersH1323 orH518 takeH3947 otherH5921H1323 wivesH802, although noH369 oneH376 is with usH5973, rememberH7200 that GodH430 is a witnessH5707 between you and meH996.”

51LabanH3837 also saidH559 to JacobH3290, “Here isH2009 theH2088H2009 moundH1530, and here is the pillarH4676 I have set upH3384 between you and meH996. 52ThisH2088 moundH1530 is a witnessH5707, and this pillarH4676 is a witnessH5713, thatH518 IH589 will notH3808 go pastH5674 thisH2088H518 moundH1530 to harm youH413, and youH859 will notH3808 go pastH5674H413 thisH2088 moundH1530 andH2063 pillarH4676 to harm meH7451. 53May the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 and the GodH430 of NahorH5152, the GodH430 of their fatherH1, judgeH8199 between usH996.”

So JacobH3290 sworeH7650 by the FearH6343 of his fatherH1 IsaacH3327.
