44 “Now therefore, come, let us make a covenant, you and I,
and let it be a witness between you and me.”
45 So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.
46 Then Jacob said to his brethren, “Gather stones.” And
they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap.
47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it
Galeed.
48 And Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and
me this day.” Therefore its name was
called Galeed,
49 Also Mizpah, because he said, “May the Lord watch between
you and me when we are absent one from another.
50 “If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives
besides my daughters, although no man is with us—see, God is witness between
you and me!”
51 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Here is this heap and here is
this pillar, which I have placed between you and me.
52 “This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness,
that I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this
heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
53 “The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of
their father judge between us.” And Jacob
swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
54 Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and
called his brethren to eat bread. And they
ate bread and stayed all night on the mountains.
55 And early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons
and daughters and blessed them. Then Laban
departed and returned to his place.
