Galeed - Mizpah - Jegar-Sahadutha
Genesis 31:47 - 49 (KJV)
And Laban called it Jegar–sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed...And Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.

Jegar-Sahadutha was what Laban called it. Israel aka Jacob called it Galeed and Mizpah meaning that G-d who is spirit will watch this Covenant throughout generations.
Whether man keeps covenant or not, G-d will watch over covenants because He introduced himself as Keeper of Covenant to Moses.
Exodus 34: 5 - 6
And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Laban, Jacob's father-in-law was Syrian(Arab) and Jacob(Israel) was Hebrew. Jacob's wives and their maids were Syrian, so was Sarah and Laban was Sarah's brother.
Please let's stop the hatred against the Arabs, because of Galeed or Mizpah and let the Arabs stop hatred towards the Jews, because of Jegar-Sahadutha
