uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠לָבָ֣ן

and,Laban

Make sure it is clear in your translation that the events in verse 19 happened before Jacob and his family had left. Also, for some languages it is more natural to first make “the Aramean” explicit here in verse 19 rather than wait until verse 20. Do what is best in your language.

הָלַ֔ךְ לִ⁠גְזֹ֖ז אֶת צֹאנ֑⁠וֹ

gone to,shear DOM his/its=flock_of_sheep/goats

In that culture, sheep wool was very important since it was used to make clothing and blankets. The process of shearing many sheep would have taken several days. You could include some of this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “had gone away for several days to cut the wool off his sheep”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תִּגְנֹ֣ב רָחֵ֔ל

and,stole Rāḩēl

Consider whether it is more natural in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “While he was gone, Rachel entered his tent and took”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

אֶת הַ⁠תְּרָפִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְ⁠אָבִֽי⁠הָ

DOM DOM the,household_gods which/who belonged_to,father,her

These idols were statues made of wood or precious metals. They were small enough to be used in a private home. In this chapter these statues are referred to as idols (in verses 19, 34, 35 when the author refers to them) and “gods” (in quotes in verses 30 and 32 when Laban or Jacob talk about them). If it is confusing in your language to switch back and forth between these two terms, you could use “gods” throughout this chapter, since Laban would not have called them idols, and Jacob would not have used that term in his presence. However, if possible, it is best to translate the two terms the way the Hebrew text has them. Alternate translation: “his family gods,” or “the gods that he had”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

31:1-21 Jacob’s return journey precipitated a confrontation with Laban that set a permanent boundary between Israel (Jacob) and Aram (Laban). God kept his word to Jacob by prospering him in Paddan-aram and protecting him on his journey home.
