TSNTyndale Study Notes:

31:50-53 Laban added some face-saving stipulations to the treaty, using many words to cover up his own untrustworthiness and portray Jacob as the unethical party. He even took credit for the monument Jacob had erected (this monument I have set, 31:51). The women and children would be much safer and better cared for with Jacob than they ever were with Laban.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

אִם תְּעַנֶּ֣ה אֶת בְּנֹתַ֗⁠י

if mistreat DOM daughters,my

See how you translated afflict in Gen 15:13 and 16:6, and how you translated a related word (“affliction”) in verse 42. Alternate translation: “If you oppress my daughters,”

וְ⁠אִם תִּקַּ֤ח נָשִׁים֙ עַל בְּנֹתַ֔⁠י

and=if take women/wives on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in daughters,my

Alternate translation: “or if you marry other women besides them,”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / dual

אֵ֥ין אִ֖ישׁ עִמָּ֑⁠נוּ רְאֵ֕ה

not (a)_man with,us see

See how you translated the pronoun “we” in verse 49.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֱלֹהִ֥ים עֵ֖ד בֵּינִ֥⁠י וּ⁠בֵינֶֽ⁠ךָ

ʼₑlhīmv witness between,me and,between,you

In his role as witness, God would also punish anyone who broke the covenant. You could make this information explicit in your translation or put it in a footnote. Alternate translation: “God always sees us and will punish us if we break our covenant”
