Genesis 31:48-50
New International Version
48 Laban said, “This heap(A) is a witness between you and me today.”(B) That is why it was called Galeed. 49 It was also called Mizpah,[a](C) because he said, “May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other. 50 If you mistreat(D) my daughters or if you take any wives besides my daughters, even though no one is with us, remember that God is a witness(E) between you and me.”(F)
