And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
And Mizpah х Mitspaah (H4709)] - a watch-tower, an eminence. When the word is used as the name of a place, it always has the article prefixed (cf. Judges 10:17; Judges 11:11; Judges 11:34). Its bestowment upon this spot originated in a paronomasia in reference to the circumstances in which the parties had met.
