Mizpah. And:
"Laban said, 'This heap [of stones] is a witness between you and me this day.' Therefore it was named Galeed, and Mizpah, for he said, 'May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from the other.'" Genesis 31:48-49. This is referred to as the Covenant of Mizpah. |
Cool. Thanks for the clarification. I was curious becuase after reading this book I have been wondering if there weren't groups who had used Judaic symbolism or may have had ties to judisiam in the 1800s. But alas that's a discussion for another topic!
