Genesis 31:45-52

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.
