Dict: easton - Galeed

easton:

Galeed @ heap of witness, the name of the pile of stones erected by Jacob and Laban to mark the league of friendship into which they entered with each other kjv@Genesis:31:47-48). This was the name given to the "heap" by Jacob. It is Hebrew, while the name Jegar-sahadutha, given to it by Laban, is Aramaic (Chaldee or Syriac). Probably Nahor's family originally spoke Aramaic, and Abraham and his descendants learned Hebrew, a kindred dialect, in the land of Canaan.
