- Genesis 31:47
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
Commentary on Genesis 31:472 voices
And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha,.... Which in the Syriac and Chaldee languages signifies "an heap of witness"; it being, as after observed, a witness of the covenant between Laban and Jacob: but Jacob called it Galeed; which in the Hebrew tongue signifies the same, "an heap of witness"; or "an heap, the witness", for the same reason.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha - יגר שהדותא yegar sahadutha, the heap or round heap of witness; but Jacob called it גלעד galed, which signifies the same thing. The first is pure Chaldee, the second pure Hebrew. אגר agar signifies to collect, hence יגר yegar and אוגר ogar, a collection or heap made up of gathered stones; and hence also אגורא egora, an altar, used frequently by the Chaldee paraphrast. See 1Ki 12:33; Jdg 6:31; 2Ki 21:3; Jer 17:1. See Castels Lexicon. From this example we may infer that the Chaldee language was nearly coequal with the Hebrew.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Genesis 31:48
Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
Commentary on Genesis 31:482 voices
He has gotten all his glory - And what was this glory? It was a parcel of brown sheep and speckled goats, and some camels and asses. Jacob has taken away all that was our fathers - Not all, sure; what was become of those cattle which were committed to the custody of Laban's sons, and sent three days journey off?
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
And Laban said, this heap is a witness between me and thee this day. A witness of the covenant now about to be made between them that day, and a witness against them should they break it: therefore was the name of it called Galeed; by Jacob, as before observed; See Gill on Gen 31:47.
