TSNTyndale Study Notes:

35:1-29 This chapter highlights God’s promises, Jacob’s vow, and the transition to Jacob’s sons’ carrying on the covenant. Deborah, Rachel, and Isaac all died, marking the end of an era and of the account of Isaac’s family (25:19–35:29).
• Idols were removed (35:1-4) and pure worship was established (35:6-7). During this transition, the faith had to be revitalized so that the covenant could be carried forward by Jacob’s sons.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠תָּ֤מָת דְּבֹרָה֙ מֵינֶ֣קֶת רִבְקָ֔ה

and,died Deborah nurse Riⱱqāh's

See how you translated nurse in Gen 24:59.

וַ⁠תִּקָּבֵ֛ר

and,buried

Alternate translation: “and her body was buried by Jacob in the ground” or “They buried her body in the ground”

מִ⁠תַּ֥חַת לְ⁠בֵֽית אֵ֖ל

from=under of, אֵל

The town of Bethel was built on a hill, so the phrase below Bethel means that Deborah was buried near Bethel, in a valley or place that was lower in elevation than the town, and possibly to the south of it. Alternate translation: “in the valley below the town of Bethel,” or “at a place south of the town of Bethel,”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

תַּ֣חַת הָֽ⁠אַלּ֑וֹן

below/instead_of the,oak

See how you translated a similar phrase (“under the terebinth/oak tree”) in verse 4. Many translations translate this phrase the same way in both places (“under an oak tree”), even though different Hebrew words are used for the type of tree. Also, for some languages it is more natural to put this phrase before the previous phrase and say, “at the base of an oak tree, below/near the town of Bethel.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “beside an oak tree” or “at the foot of an oak tree.”

וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖⁠וֹ

and=he/it_called his/its=name

The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) that people in general called the tree or place Allon Bacuth; or (2) that Jacob was the one who named the place. See how you translated a similar clause in Gen 31:38. Alternate translation: “So he named the tree” or “That is why the place is known as”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

אַלּ֥וֹן בָּכֽוּת

Allon Bacuth

If you include the meaning of this name in your translation text or in a footnote, make sure it fits with how you translated oak tree in the previous sentence.
