4194. Verses 47-50 And Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha; and Jacob called it Galeed. And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and you today; therefore he called its name Galeed - and Mizpah, for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and you, for we are going to be hidden from each other. ¹ If you afflict my daughters, and if you take wives (femina) besides my daughters, after we have parted from each other ² - see, God is witness between me and you.

'Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha' means the nature of it on the part of the good represented by 'Laban'. 'And Jacob called it Galeed' means the nature of it on the part of the good of the Divine Natural. 'And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and you today; therefore he called its name Galeed' means that it will be so for ever - hence the nature of it is described a second time. 'And Mizpah, for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and you' means the presence of the Lord's Divine Natural. 'For we are going to be hidden from each other' means a separation so far as things of the Church are concerned. 'If you afflict my daughters, and if you take wives besides my daughters, after we have parted from each other' means that the affections for truth are to remain inside the Church. 'See, God is witness between me and you' means confirmation.
