UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וַ⁠יַּשֵּׂ֥ג לָבָ֖ן אֶֽת יַעֲקֹ֑ב

and,overtook Lāⱱān DOM Yaakob

Make sure that the way you translate this clause does not sound like Laban overtook Jacob a second time. This is referring to what already happened in verse 23. See how you translated overtook there. Alternate translation: “So when Laban overtook Jacob,”

Note 2 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠יַעֲקֹ֗ב תָּקַ֤ע אֶֽת אָהֳל⁠וֹ֙

and,Jacob pitched DOM tent,his

Make sure it is clear in your translation that Jacob had already pitched his tents before Laban arrived. Also see how you translated “pitched his tent” in Gen 12:8 and 26:25. Alternate translation: “Jacob and his family had already put up his tents” or “Jacob and his family had already set up camp”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בָּ⁠הָ֔ר

in/on/at/with,hill_country

For some languages it is clearer and more natural to make Gilead explicit here (rather than later in this verse). Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated mountains of Gilead in verses 21 and 23. Alternate translation: “in the mountain region of Gilead,”

וְ⁠לָבָ֛ן & אֶת אֶחָ֖י⁠ו

and,Laban & DOM kinsmen,his

Alternate translation: “so Laban and all his relatives that were with him”

תָּקַ֥ע

camped

Alternate translation: “also put up their tents” or “also camped”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

בְּ⁠הַ֥ר הַ⁠גִּלְעָֽד

in/on/at/with,hill_country the,Gilead

If you made Gilead explicit earlier in this verse in your translation, it may not be necessary to repeat it here. Do what is best in your language.
