“And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;”
Laban said: this heap is a witness between you and me today. That is why it was called Galeed. The witnessing function of the heap is its covenantal purpose — permanent physical evidence of what was agreed. The application: the witnesses at a covenant — physical and human — are the guarantee of its permanence in community memory.
