44Now therefore come thouH3212, let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285, I and thou; and let it be for a witnessH5707 between me and thee.

45And JacobH3290 tookH3947 a stoneH68, and set it upH7311 for a pillarH4676.

46And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, GatherH3950 stonesH68; and they tookH3947 stonesH68, and madeH6213 an heapH1530: and they did eatH398 there upon the heapH1530.

47And LabanH3837 calledH7121 it Jegar–sahaduthaH3026: but JacobH3290 calledH7121 it GaleedH1567.12

48And LabanH3837 saidH559, This heapH1530 is a witnessH5707 between me and thee this dayH3117. Therefore was the nameH8034 of it calledH7121 GaleedH1567;

49And MizpahH4709; forH834 he saidH559, YhwhH3068 watchH6822 between me and thee, when we are absentH5641 oneH376 from anotherH7453.3

50If thou shalt afflictH6031 my daughtersH1323, or if thou shalt takeH3947 other wivesH802 besideH5921 my daughtersH1323, no manH376 is with us; seeH7200, GodH430 is witnessH5707 betwixt me and thee.

51And LabanH3837 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Behold this heapH1530, and behold this pillarH4676, which I have castH3384 betwixt me and thee;

52This heapH1530 be witnessH5707, and this pillarH4676 be witnessH5713, that I will not pass overH5674 this heapH1530 to thee, and that thou shalt not pass overH5674 this heapH1530 and this pillarH4676 unto me, for harmH7451.

53The GodH430 of AbrahamH85, and the GodH430 of NahorH5152, the GodH430 of their fatherH1, judgeH8199 betwixt us. And JacobH3290 swareH7650 by the fearH6343 of his fatherH1 IsaacH3327.

54Then JacobH3290 offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077 upon the mountH2022, and calledH7121 his brethrenH251 to eatH398 breadH3899: and they did eatH398 breadH3899, and tarried all nightH3885 in the mountH2022.4
