In Genesis 31:23, Laban's kinsmen pursue Jacob — the same group that now gathers stones and shares this covenant meal at the heap.

In Genesis 31:32, Jacob boldly declares the thief of Laban's gods should die. The heap replaces that failed resolution with a covenant instead.

In Genesis 31:54, Jacob again calls kinsmen to a covenant meal after offering sacrifice — a second communal meal sealing the same agreement.

In Genesis 28:11, Jacob also uses stones to mark a divine encounter at Bethel—same person, same practice of using stones as sacred markers.

In Joshua 22:10, the eastern tribes build a great altar by Jordan as a covenant witness—same practice of raising stones as a testimony between parties.

In Joshua 4:5-9, twelve stones taken from the Jordan are set up as a lasting memorial — same practice of gathered stones as witnesses to a significant event.

In Joshua 4:20-24, the Gilgal stones serve as a witness to future generations of God's deeds — a memorial purpose for gathered stones, though here the audience differs.
