49 It was also called Mizpah.[a] 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.
