4202. Verses 51-53. And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee. This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap to me, and this pillar, for evil. The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor judge between us, the God of their father; and Jacob sware by the Dread of his father Isaac. “And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee,” signifies conjunction; “this heap be witness, and the pillar be witness,” signifies confirmation; “that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap to me, and this pillar, for evil,” signifies the limit defining how much can flow in from good; “the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor judge between us,” signifies the Divine flowing into both; “the God of their father,” signifies from the supreme Divine; “and Jacob sware by the dread of his father Isaac,” signifies confirmation from the Divine Human, which in this state is called “the Dread.”

51 Laban said to Jacob, "See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.

52 May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac.
