New International Reader's Version

Genesis 31:47-51 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

47. Laban named the pile of stones Jegar Sahadutha. Jacob named it Galeed.

48. Laban said, "This pile of stones is a witness between you and me today." That's why it was named Galeed.

49. It was also called Mizpah. That's because Laban said, "May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other.

50. Don't treat my daughters badly. Don't get married to any women besides my daughters. There isn't anyone here to see what we're doing. But remember that God is a witness between you and me."

51. Laban also said to Jacob, "Here is this pile of stones. And here is this pillar. I've set them up between you and me.
