BrLXX Ὁ Θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ναχὼρ κρίναι ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν· καὶ ὤμοσεν Ἰακὼβ κατὰ τοῦ φόβου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ.

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.
אֱלֹהֵ֨י אַבְרָהָ֜ם
god ʼAⱱrāhām
See how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 28:13. Alternate translation: “May the God whom your grandfather Abraham served”
וֵֽאלֹהֵ֤י נָחוֹר֙ & אֱלֹהֵ֖י אֲבִיהֶ֑ם
and,God Nahor & god father,their
Abraham trusted in Yahweh, the one and only true God (Gen 15:6). Terah worshiped other gods (Joshua 24:2), and so did Laban (verses 19, 30), which suggests that Nahor served the same gods that his father Terah served, and then taught his son Laban to do the same thing. In spite of that, many translations still capitalize God all three times here in verse 53. Be consistent with how you spelled Nahor in the book of Genesis. See Gen 11:22-25, 29; 12:26-27; 22:20, 24, 28; 24:9, 15, 24, 47; 29:5; 31:53. Alternate translation: “and the gods that my grandfather Nahor and his father Terah worshiped”
יִשְׁפְּט֣וּ בֵינֵ֔ינוּ

Alternate translation: “judge between us and punish us if we break our covenant”

and,swore Yaakob
Jacob refused to swear by the gods of Nahor and Terah. See how you translated swore in Gen 26:31, and compare that to how you translated a related phrase (“vowed a vow”) in 31:13. Alternate translation: “But Jacob swore” or “But Jacob vowed a vow”

See how you translated “the Fear of Isaac” in verse 42. Alternate translation: “by the God whom his father Isaac feared that he would keep their treaty,” or “with the Fear of his father Isaac as his witness”
