Genesis 31:45-52
45Then JacobH3290 tookH3947 1a stoneH68 and setH7311 it upH7311 as a memorialH4676 stoneH4676.
46JacobH3290 saidH559 to his relativesH251, “GatherH3950 stonesH68.” So they tookH3947 stonesH68 and madeH6213 a heapH1530, and they ateH398 thereH8033 by the heapH1530.
47Now LabanH3837 2calledH7121 it 3Jegar-sahaduthaH3026, but JacobH3290 calledH7121 it 4GaleedH1567.
48LabanH3837 saidH559, “5ThisH2088 heapH1530 is a witnessH5707 betweenH996 6you and me this dayH3117.” ThereforeH5921H3651 it was namedH7121H8034 GaleedH1567,
49and 78MizpahH4709, for he saidH559, “May the LordH3068 keepH6822 watchH6822 betweenH996 9you and me whenH3588 we are 10absentH5641 oneH376 from the otherH7453.
50IfH518 you mistreatH6031 my daughtersH1323, or ifH518 you takeH3947 wivesH802 besidesH5921 my daughtersH1323, although noH369 oneH376 is with us, seeH7200, 11GodH430 is witnessH5707 betweenH996 12you and me.”
51LabanH3837 also saidH559 to JacobH3290, “BeholdH2009 thisH2088 heapH1530 and beholdH2009 the memorialH4676 stoneH4676 whichH834 I have setH3384 betweenH996 13you and me.
52ThisH2088 heapH1530 is a witnessH5707, and the memorialH4676 stoneH4676 is a witnessH5713, that I will not passH5674 byH5674 thisH2088 heapH1530 to you for harm, and you will not passH5674 byH5674 thisH2088 heapH1530 and thisH2088 memorialH4676 stoneH4676 to me, for harmH7463.
