Genesis 31:44-54

44And nowH6258, come, let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285, I and thou; and let it beH1961 a witnessH5707 between me and thee.

45And JacobH3290 tookH3947 a stoneH68, and set it up [for] a pillarH4676.

46And JacobH3290 saidH559 to his brethren, GatherH3950 stonesH68. And they tookH3947 stonesH68, and madeH6213 a heapH1530, and ateH398 there upon the heapH1530.

47And LabanH3837 calledH7121 it Jegar-sahadutha, and JacobH3290 calledH7121 it GaleedH1567.

48And LabanH3837 saidH559, This heapH1530 is a witnessH5707 between me and thee this dayH3117. ThereforeH3651 was the nameH8034 of it calledH7121 GaleedH1567,

49— and MizpahH4709; for he saidH559, Let Jehovah watchH6822 between me and thee, when we shall be hiddenH5641 oneH376 from another:

50if thou shouldest afflictH6031 my daughtersH1323, or if thou shouldest takeH3947 wivesH802 besides my daughtersH1323, — no manH376 is with us; seeH7200, 1GodH430 is witnessH5707 between me and thee!

51And LabanH3837 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Behold this heapH1530, and behold the pillarH4676 which I have set up between me and thee:

52[let] this heapH1530 be witnessH5707, and the pillarH4676 a witnessH5707, that neither I passH5674 this heapH1530 [to go] to thee, nor thou passH5674 this heapH1530 and this pillarH4676 [to come] to me, for harmH7451.

53The 2GodH430 of AbrahamH85, and the 3GodH430 of NahorH5152, the 4GodH430 of their fatherH1, judgeH8199 between us! And JacobH3290 sworeH7650 by the fearH6343 of his fatherH1 IsaacH3327.

54And JacobH3290 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 upon the mountainH2022, and invited his brethren to eatH398 breadH3899: and they ateH398 breadH3899, and lodged on the mountainH2022.
