Genesis 31:44-54
44And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be a witness between me and thee.
45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
46And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap.
47And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed,
49— and Mizpah; for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we shall be hidden one from another:
50if thou shouldest afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldest take wives besides my daughters, — no man is with us; see, 1God is witness between me and thee!
51And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee:
52[let] this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap [to go] to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar [to come] to me, for harm.
53The 2God of Abraham, and the 3God of Nahor, the 4God of their father, judge between us! And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54And Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on the mountain.
