What is the meaning of "Mizpah?"

        Mizpah, or Mizpeh, was the name of several localities in Old Testament history. The word means "a watch-tower'' and in literature the whole of the beautiful remark made by Laban to Jacob has been included in its meaning: "The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from the other." Genesis 31: 149
