Genesis 31:44-48
31:44 So now, come, let’s make a formal agreement,
you and I, and it will be
proof that we have made peace.”
31:45 So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial pillar.
31:46 Then he said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they brought stones and put them in a pile. They ate there by the pile of stones.
31:47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
31:48 Laban said, “This pile of stones is a witness of our agreement today.” That is why it was called Galeed.
Genesis 31:52
31:52 “This pile of stones and the pillar are reminders that I will not pass beyond this pile to come to harm you and that you will not pass beyond this pile and this pillar to come to harm me.
Joshua 22:27-28
22:27 but as a reminder to us and you,
and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the
Lord in his very presence
with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace.
Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants, ‘You have no right to worship the
Lord.’
22:28 We said, ‘If in the future they say such a thing
to us or to our descendants, we will reply, “See the model of the
Lord’s altar that our ancestors
made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a reminder to us and you.”’
Joshua 24:27
24:27 Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a witness against you, for it has heard everything the
Lord said to us.
It will be a witness against you if
you deny your God.”
