31:43-44 Laban pushed for a treaty to settle the dispute—he felt vulnerable, so he wanted to secure the borders. Jacob did not need a treaty, since God had provided for him and protected him.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וְ⁠עַתָּ֗ה לְכָ֛⁠ה נִכְרְתָ֥ה בְרִ֖ית אֲנִ֣י וָ⁠אָ֑תָּה

and=now come, make covenant I and,you

For some languages it may be more natural to put I and you earlier in the sentence. Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated So now in verse 16 and cut a covenant in Gen 26:28. Alternate translation: “So then, you and I should make a peace covenant with each other,” or “So I invite you to make a covenant with me,”

וְ⁠הָיָ֥ה

and=it_was

The subject of the Hebrew verb in this phrase is masculine singular, so it cannot refer to “covenant,” which is feminine singular. It is probably best to translate this phrase in a general way. Alternate translation: “and let there be”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

לְ⁠עֵ֖ד בֵּינִ֥⁠י וּ⁠בֵינֶֽ⁠ךָ

as,witness between,me and,between,you

If your language has a dual pronoun for us, you could use it in this verse. Also, if your language distinguishes exclusive and inclusive pronouns, you could use the inclusive form of us here. Alternate translation: “a memorial to remind us of our covenant” or “something to remind us to keep that covenant”
