Genesis 31:49-53

49or Mizpah, for he said, “Let Adonai keep watch between you and me when we are out of one another’s sight.

50If you mistreat my daughters, and if you take wives besides my daughters, though no one is with us, look! God is the witness between you and me.”

51Laban said further to Jacob, “Behold, this pile, and this pillar which I’ve set up between you and me:

52this pile serves as a witness, that I won’t pass by this pillar to go to you, and that you won’t pass by this pile and this pillar to go to me—with evil intent.

53May the God of Abraham and the gods of Nahor, the gods of their father, judge between us.” Jacob also made an oath by the fear of his father Isaac.
