Genesis 31:46-49

46Jacob said to his 1kinsmen, “Gather stones.” So they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.

47Now Laban 2called it 3Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it 4Galeed.

48Laban said, “5This heap is a witness between 6you and me this day.” Therefore it was named Galeed,
