“And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.”
So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar. The pillar-setting echoes the Bethel stone of Genesis 28:18 — the same act of marking a significant moment. Here the stone marks a covenant between people rather than a covenant between God and a person. The application: the physical marking of significant agreements serves the community memory that formal agreements require.
