Genesis 31:48-54
48LabanH3837 saidH559, “1ThisH2088 heapH1530 is a witnessH5707 betweenH996 2you and me this dayH3117.” ThereforeH5921H3651 it was namedH7121H8034 GaleedH1567,
49and 34MizpahH4709, for he saidH559, “May the LordH3068 keepH6822 watchH6822 betweenH996 5you and me whenH3588 we are 6absentH5641 oneH376 from the otherH7453.
50IfH518 you mistreatH6031 my daughtersH1323, or ifH518 you takeH3947 wivesH802 besidesH5921 my daughtersH1323, although noH369 oneH376 is with us, seeH7200, 7GodH430 is witnessH5707 betweenH996 8you and me.”
51LabanH3837 also saidH559 to JacobH3290, “BeholdH2009 thisH2088 heapH1530 and beholdH2009 the memorialH4676 stoneH4676 whichH834 I have setH3384 betweenH996 9you 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.
5310The GodH430 of AbrahamH85 and the GodH430 of NahorH5152, the GodH430 of their fatherH1, 11judgeH8199 betweenH996 us.” So JacobH3290 sworeH7650 by 12the fearH6343 of his fatherH1 IsaacH3327.
54Then JacobH3290 13offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 on the mountainH2022, and calledH7121 his relativesH251 to 14the mealH398H3899; and they ateH398 15the mealH3899 and spentH3885 theH3885 nightH3885 on the mountainH2022.
