UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

הִקָּבְצ֥וּ וְ⁠שִׁמְע֖וּ בְּנֵ֣י יַעֲקֹ֑ב

assemble and,hear sons_of Yaakob

Make sure it is clear in your translation of this verse that Jacob is talking to his own sons and is referring to himself as both Jacob and as Israel. Also, for some languages it is more natural to put the address sons of Jacob first in verse 2, or even first in the quote (which begins in verse 1). Do what is best in your language.

וְ⁠שִׁמְע֖וּ אֶל יִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל אֲבִי⁠כֶֽם

and,hear and,listen to/towards Yisrael father,your_all's

This clause forms a parallelism with the previous clause to emphasize that Jacob wants his sons to listen to him carefully. Try to keep both halves of this parallelism in your translation, since each half has a slightly different focus. Also, consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Pay attention to me, your father Israel.”
