Genesis 31:47

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

Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.

Now Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

They named it "Witness Pile," which is Jegar–sahadutha in Laban’s language and Galeed in Jacob’s.

Laban named it in Aramaic, Yegar-sahadutha (Witness Monument); Jacob echoed the naming in Hebrew, Galeed (Witness Monument).

And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.

Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.

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

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

¹ sn Jegar Sahadutha. Laban the Aramean gave the place an Aramaic name which means “witness pile” or “the pile is a witness.”

² 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.
