“And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.”
He said to his relatives: gather some stones. So they took stones and piled them in a heap, and they ate there by the heap. The heap of stones is the covenant memorial; the meal beside it is the covenant seal. The application: the covenant meal beside a physical monument is the embodied form the agreement takes in human bodies.
