44. I am ready to make an agreement with you. Let us make a pile of stones to remind us of our agreement.”
45. So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial.
46. He told his men to gather some rocks and pile them up. Then they ate a meal beside the pile of rocks.
47. Laban named it Jegar Sahadutha, while Jacob named it Galeed.
48. Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks will be a reminder for both of us.” That is why that place was named Galeed.
49. Laban also said, “May the Lord keep an eye on us while we are separated from each other.” So the place was also named Mizpah.
50. Laban went on, “If you ill-treat my daughters or if you marry other women, even though I don't know about it, remember that God is watching us.
51. Here are the rocks that I have piled up between us, and here is the memorial stone.
52. Both this pile and this memorial stone are reminders. I will never go beyond this pile to attack you, and you must never go beyond it or beyond this memorial stone to attack me.
