Genesis 31:51-55
New King James Version
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 (A)judge between us.” And Jacob (B)swore by (C)the [a]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 mountain. 55 And early in the morning Laban arose, and (D)kissed his sons and daughters and (E)blessed them. Then Laban departed and (F)returned to his place.

51 Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is this heap,(A) and here is this pillar(B) I have set up between you and me. 52 This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness,(C) that I will not go past this heap to your side to harm you and that you will not go past this heap(D) and pillar to my side to harm me.(E) 53 May the God of Abraham(F) and the God of Nahor,(G) the God of their father, judge between us.”(H)
So Jacob took an oath(I) in the name of the Fear of his father Isaac.(J) 54 He offered a sacrifice(K) there in the hill country and invited his relatives to a meal.(L) After they had eaten, they spent the night there.
55 Early the next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters(M) and blessed(N) them. Then he left and returned home.[a](O)
