Genesis 31:43-47

43Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day for these my daughters or for their children whom they have borne?

44Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I. And let it be a witness between you and me."

45So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.

46And Jacob said to his kinsmen, "Gather stones." And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.

47Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
