He replied,“ Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well.”

He said,“ These seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that this may be a witness for me that I dug this well.”

Abraham replied,“ Please accept these seven lambs to show your agreement that I dug this well.”

He replied,“ You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from me so that this act will serve as my witness that I dug this well.”

He said,“ You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness for me, that I dug this well.”

And he said,“ You will take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that they may be my witness that I have dug this well.”

He replied,“ You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand so that this act will serve as my witness that I dug this well.”

This pile is a witness. And this stone is a witness. They are witnesses that I won’t go past this pile to harm you. And they are witnesses that you won’t go past this pile and this stone to harm me.

“ Look!” he said to all the people.“ This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has spoken to us. Suppose you aren’t faithful to your God. Then the stone will be a witness against you.”

So just the opposite is true. The altar will be a witness between us and you. It will be a witness between our children and yours after us. It will also be a witness that we will worship the Lord at his sacred tent. We’ll worship him there with our burnt offerings, sacrifices and friendship offerings. Then in days to come your children won’t be able to say to ours,‘ You don’t have anything to do with the Lord.’“ So we said to ourselves,‘ Suppose they say that to us sometime. Or suppose they say it to our children after us. Then we’ll answer,“ Look at this altar. It’s exactly like the Lord’ s altar. Our people built it. They didn’t build it to offer burnt offerings and sacrifices on it. Instead, they built it to be a witness between us and you.” ’

Come now. Let’s make a formal agreement, you and I. Let it be a witness between us.”So Jacob set up a stone as a way to remember.He said to his relatives,“ Get some stones.” So they took stones and put them in a pile. And they ate there by it.Laban named the pile of stones Jegar Sahadutha. Jacob named it Galeed.Laban said,“ This pile of stones is a witness between you and me today.” That’s why it was named Galeed.
