Genesis 31:48-50
Contemporary English Version
48 Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks will remind us of our agreement.” That's why the place was named Galeed. 49 Laban also said, “This pile of rocks means that the Lord will watch us both while we are apart from each other.” So the place was also named Mizpah.[a]
50 Then Laban said:
If you mistreat my daughters or marry other women, I may not know about it, but remember, God is watching us!
