UTN uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יֶּאֱהַ֣ל אַבְרָ֗ם

and,moved_~_tent Avram

Abram obeyed God, but we do not know if he did everything that God commanded in verse 17 before he moved his tents near Hebron (verse 18), or if moving his tents was the first step in obeying what God told him to do. It is best to keep this general in your translation (as the Hebrew text does). Also see how you translated the phrase moved his tents in verse 12. Alternate translation: “Then Abram did what Yahweh commanded and moved his tents” or “Abram obeyed Yahweh and relocated his tents”

וַ⁠יָּבֹ֛א וַ⁠יֵּ֛שֶׁב

and,came and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived

Alternate translation: “and went to live”

בְּ⁠אֵלֹנֵ֥י מַמְרֵ֖א

in/on/at/with,oaks Mamre

See how you translated terebinth in Gen 12:6. Alternate translation: “near the terebinth trees on the land owned by a man named Mamre,”

וַ⁠יִּֽבֶן שָׁ֥ם מִזְבֵּ֖חַ

and=he/it_built there altar

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated this phrase in Gen 12:7-8.

לַֽ⁠יהוָֽה

to/for=YHWH

See how you translated this phrase in Gen 12:7 and how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 8:20 and 12:8. Alternate translation: “and offered sacrifices on it to thank and worship Yahweh.”
