“This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.”
This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this heap to your side to harm you and that you will not go past this heap and pillar to my side to harm me. The mutual non-aggression pact — neither will cross the line to harm the other — is the covenant's practical content. The application: the covenant between parties who have hurt each other establishes a line that both agree not to cross.
