Genesis 31:48-52 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

48. Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks will remind us of the agreement between us.” That is why the place was called A Pile to Remind Us.

49. It was also called Mizpah. This was because Laban said, “Let the Lord watch over us while we are separated from each other.

50. Remember that God is our witness. This is true even if no one else is around us. He will know if you harm my daughters or marry other women.

51. Here is the pile of rocks that I have put between us. And here is the rock I set up on end.

52. This pile of rocks and this rock set on end will remind us of our agreement. I will never go past this pile to hurt you. And you must never come to my side of them to hurt me.
