“The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.”
May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. So Jacob took an oath in the name of the Fear of his father Isaac. The appeal to the God of both families' ancestors is the common ground on which the covenant is made. The application: the covenant sworn in the name of the God who witnesses both parties is the covenant that can be relied upon when only God can see.
