New Testament

Genesis 31:48-54 God's Word Translation (GW)

48. Laban said, “This pile of stones stands as a witness between you and me today.” This is why it was named Galeed

49. and also Mizpah [Watchtower], because he said, “May the Lord watch between you and me when we’re unable to see each other.

50. If you mistreat my daughters or marry other women behind my back, remember that God stands as a witness between you and me.”

51. Laban said to Jacob, “Here is the pile of stones, and here is the marker that I have set up between you and me.

52. This pile of stones and this marker stand as witnesses that I will not go past the pile of stones to harm you, and that you will not go past the pile of stones or marker to harm me.

53. May the God of Abraham and Nahor—the God of their father—judge between us.”So Jacob swore this oath by the Fear of his father Isaac

54. and offered a sacrifice on the mountain. He invited his relatives to eat the meal with him. They ate with him and spent the night on the mountain.
