    45 So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar. 46 Then Jacob said to his brethren, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap. 47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha (heap of witnesses in Arabic), but Jacob called it Galeed (heap of witnesses in Hebrew). 48 And Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore its name was called Galeed, 49 also Mizpah (Literally: Watch), because he said, “May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from another. 50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us—see, God is witness between you and me!”
  • 
    51 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Here is this heap and here is this pillar, which I have placed between you and me. 52 This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. 53 The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their father judge between us.” And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac. 54 Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread.

The Hebrew word for stone is ‘eḇen h68 (also a foundation stone).
From the root of h1129 through the meaning to build. It matches the Hebrew bānâ.

The Hebrew word for son is bēn h1121 From bānâ to build, to build a family.

Summary: The “Son” (bēn) of God means “Stone”.

The entire bible is about the SON (spelled “b” and “n”). The first letter in Genesis 1:1 begins with a “b” and the last letter in Revelation ends with an “n”. Jesus is the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
