History and Etymology for Mizpah

Mizpah, a place in ancient Palestine where Jacob and Laban erected a heap of stones as a sign of covenant between them.

Mizpah is Hebrew for "watchtower". As mentioned in the biblical story of Jacob and Laban, making a pile of stones marked an agreement between two people, with God as their watching witness.

Genesis 31:44-49

44 Come now, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be a witness between the two of us.”

45 So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a marker. 46 Then Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a mound, then ate there by the mound. 47 Laban named the mound Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob named it Galeed.

48 Then Laban said, “This mound is a witness between you and me today.” Therefore the place was called Galeed 49 and also Mizpah, for he said, “May the Lord watch between you and me when we are out of each other’s sight.
