Galeed

Name meaning literally “a heap of witness.” Jacob gave this name to a pile of stones erected as a witness to the pact of friendship made between himself and his father-in-law, Laban, who named the cairn Jegar-sahadutha (Gn 31:47–48). Its location is unknown. The name Galeed is not to be confused with the name Gilead, designation of the territory east of the Jordan.
