However, the concept of a "witness" or "testimony" can be related to Greek words like μαρτυρία (martyria, Strong's G3141) meaning "testimony" or "witness."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Galed means "heap of witness." It is a name given to a pile of stones set up as a memorial or witness to an agreement or covenant. In the biblical context, it signifies a physical reminder of a solemn pact between parties.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, covenants and agreements were often marked by physical symbols such as altars, stones, or heaps. These served as tangible reminders of the promises made and were often invoked as witnesses to the covenant. The practice of setting up a stone heap as a witness is reflective of the legal and social customs of the time, where oral agreements were often reinforced by physical symbols.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1530.htm">gal</a> and <a href="/hebrew/5707.htm">ed</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"witness-pile," a memorial of stones E. of the Jordan River<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Galeed (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גַּלְעֵד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (<em>witness-pile</em>) name of pile of stones erected by Jacob and his company (Kit<sup>Geschichte.129</sup>;
