Genesis 31:44-48

44So now, come, let’s make a formal agreement, you and I, and it will be proof that we have made peace.”

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

46Then he said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they brought stones and put them in a pile. They ate there by the pile of stones.

47Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

48Laban said, “This pile of stones is a witness of our agreement today.” That is why it was called Galeed.
