Genesis 31:44-53 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

44. and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.'

45. And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;

46. and Jacob saith to his brethren, `Gather stones,' and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;

47. and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.

48. And Laban saith, `This heap [is] witness between me and thee to-day;' therefore hath he called its name Galeed;

49. Mizpah also, for he said, `Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another;

50. if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters--there is no man with us--see, God [is] witness between me and thee.'

51. And Laban saith to Jacob, `Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee;

52. this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto me--for evil;

53. the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us--the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac.
