וַיִּבְרַ֥ח הוּא֙
and,fled he/it
This statement summarizes an event that already happened (See verses 18 and 20). Make sure your translation of this verse does not sound like Jacob left a second time. To make this clear you could say, “After Jacob and his family ran away with everything that they owned, they quickly crossed the Euphrates River and headed toward the hill country of Gilead.” Alternate translation: “So Jacob and his family ran away”
וְכָל
and=all
Alternate translation: “with all” or “and took all”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
אֲשֶׁר ל֔וֹ
which/who to=him/it
Make sure that your choice of pronouns throughout this verse fits with how you translate the beginning of this sentence. Alternate translation: “that belonged to them.” or “that he had”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיָּ֖קָם וַיַּעֲבֹ֣ר אֶת הַנָּהָ֑ר
and=he/it_rose_up and=he/it_passed_through DOM the=river
The Euphrates River was also called the River because it was large and well-known. It was about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Haran, where Laban lived. This information could be put in a footnote. Alternate translation: “He quickly crossed the Euphrates River”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיָּ֥שֶׂם אֶת פָּנָ֖יו
and=he/it_assigned DOM his/its=faces/face
Alternate translation: “and went in the direction of”
הַ֥ר הַגִּלְעָֽד
hill_country the,Gilead
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could refer to: (1) mountains or hill country; or (2) a specific mountain (“Mount Gilead”). Alternate translation: “the mountain region called Gilead.” or “the hill country called Gilead.”
31:21 The journey took the family from Haran southwest to the land of Gilead, just east of the Jordan River in the north of today’s kingdom of Jordan.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
