(gal' ih ehd) Place name meaning, “pile for witness.” Place where Jacob and his father-in-law Laban made a formal agreement or covenant determining the boundary line between their peoples and agreeing not to harm one another (Genesis 31:43-52 ). The place was also called Sahadutah and Mizpah. The heap of stones marking Galeed was in Gilead, north of the Jabbok River. See Mizpah.
