Genesis 31:45-49
New International Version
45 So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.(A) 46 He said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and piled them in a heap,(B) and they ate there by the heap. 47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.[a](C)
48 Laban said, “This heap(D) is a witness between you and me today.”(E) That is why it was called Galeed. 49 It was also called Mizpah,[b](F) because he said, “May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other.
