Genesis 31:45-53

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴⁵ So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a marker.^{(A) 46} Then Jacob said to his relatives, ‘Gather stones.’ And they took stones and made a mound, then ate there by the mound. ⁴⁷ Laban named the mound Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob named it Galeed.^[a]

⁴⁸ Then Laban said, ‘This mound is a witness between you and me today.’ Therefore the place was called Galeed ⁴⁹ and also Mizpah,^[b](B) for he said, ‘May the Lord watch between you and me when we are out of each other’s sight. ⁵⁰ If you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, though no one is with us, understand that God will be a witness between you and me.’^{(C) 51} Laban also said to Jacob, ‘Look at this mound and the marker I have set up between you and me. ⁵² This mound is a witness and the marker is a witness that I will not pass beyond this mound to you, and you will not pass beyond this mound and this marker to do me harm. ⁵³ The God of Abraham, and the gods^(D) of Nahor – the gods of their father^[c] – will judge between us.’ And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
