Genesis 31:46-49
46Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.
47Now Laban 1called it 2Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it 3Galeed.
48Laban said, “4This heap is a witness between 5you and me this day.” Therefore it was named Galeed,
49and 67Mizpah, for he said, “May the Lord keep watch between 8you and me when we are 9absent one from the other.
