Bible verse
Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
Genesis 31:44 · BSB
The verses around it, from Genesis 31.
40 As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41 Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!
42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”
43 But Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?
44 Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
45 So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
46 and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
47 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
