“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.

“Here is this pile of stones and this pillar I have set up between me and you,” Laban said to Jacob.

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.

Laban said, “This pile of stones is a witness of our agreement today.” That is why it was called Galeed.
