Genesis 31:45 In-Context

43 Laban responded and told Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks. Everything you see is mine. But what can I do now about my daughters and about their sons?

44 Come, let's make a treaty, you and me, and let something be our witness."

45 So Jacob took a stone, set it up as a sacred pillar,

46 and said to his relatives, "Gather stones." So they took stones, made a mound, and ate there near the mound.

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