Context
NETBible

Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, 1  but Jacob called it Galeed. 2 

XREF

Heb 12:1

NET © Notes

sn Jegar Sahadutha. Laban the Aramean gave the place an Aramaic name which means “witness pile” or “the pile is a witness.”

sn Galeed also means “witness pile” or “the pile is a witness,” but this name is Canaanite or Western Semitic and closer to later Hebrew. Jacob, though certainly capable of speaking Aramaic, here prefers to use the western dialect.
