Genesis 31:44-48 Good News Bible (GNB)

44. I am ready to make an agreement with you. Let us make a pile of stones to remind us of our agreement.”

45. So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial.

46. He told his men to gather some rocks and pile them up. Then they ate a meal beside the pile of rocks.

47. Laban named it Jegar Sahadutha, while Jacob named it Galeed.

48. Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks will be a reminder for both of us.” That is why that place was named Galeed.
