Genesis 31:45-52

45So Jacob took a large stone and made it stand up in the ground.

46He said to his relatives, ‘Go and get some stones.’ So they brought some stones and they put them together on the ground. Then they all ate a meal together, near the heap of stones.

47Laban called that place Jegar Sahadutha. Jacob called it Galeed.

48Laban said, ‘These stones show that we have made an agreement today.’ That is why the place was called Galeed.

49The place was also called Mizpah. That was because Laban said, ‘May the Lord watch you and me when we are away from each other.

50Remember that God is watching you. If you do wrong to my daughters, God will see it. And if you marry any other women, remember this. God is watching you. Even if no one else sees you, God will know.’

51Laban also said, ‘I have put this special stone here, and the heap of stones near it. They stand there between your land and my land.

52I will not go past the stones to your side to hurt you. And you must not go past them to my side to hurt me.
