(KJV.) GENESIS 31:47-55
Jacob flees from Laban
(47) And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha but Jacob called it Galeed.
(48) And Laban said; This heap is a witness between me and thee this day: Therefore was the name of it called Galeed.
(49) And Mizpah: for he said: The LORD watch between me and thee; when we are absent one from another.
(50) If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us, see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
(51) And Laban said to Jacob; Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee.
(52) This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
(53) The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us, And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
(54) Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount; and called his brethren to eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
(55) And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters and blessed them and Laban departed and returned unto his place.
ADDENDUM:
The conflict between Jacob and Laban resolved with a casted truce of a heap and a pillar, covenanted peace for both families; in an analogy, are the current church pillars for peace on earth?
