In context

47Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.

48Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.

49It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.

50If you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, although no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.”

51Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
