Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 31:47

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

Both names signifie the same thing, an heap of witness, onely Laban gives the name in the Syrian Language; but Iacob, though he had been long conversant in Syria and understood that Language, yet he chose to give it in Hebrew, which was both a secret renouncing of the Syrian Manners and Religion together with their Language, and an implicit profession of his conjunction with the Hebrews as in their Tongue so in their Religion.

Marginal references: That is, the heap of witness.
