וַיַּשֵּׂ֥ג לָבָ֖ן אֶֽת יַעֲקֹ֑ב
and,overtook Lāⱱān DOM Yaakob
Make sure that the way you translate this clause does not sound like Laban overtook Jacob a second time. This is referring to what already happened in verse 23. See how you translated overtook there. Alternate translation: “So when Laban overtook Jacob,”
Note 2 topic: writing-background
וְיַעֲקֹ֗ב תָּקַ֤ע אֶֽת אָהֳלוֹ֙
and,Jacob pitched DOM tent,his
Make sure it is clear in your translation that Jacob had already pitched his tents before Laban arrived. Also see how you translated “pitched his tent” in Gen 12:8 and 26:25. Alternate translation: “Jacob and his family had already put up his tents” or “Jacob and his family had already set up camp”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בָּהָ֔ר
in/on/at/with,hill_country
For some languages it is clearer and more natural to make Gilead explicit here (rather than later in this verse). Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated mountains of Gilead in verses 21 and 23. Alternate translation: “in the mountain region of Gilead,”
וְלָבָ֛ן & אֶת אֶחָ֖יו
and,Laban & DOM kinsmen,his
Alternate translation: “so Laban and all his relatives that were with him”
תָּקַ֥ע
camped
Alternate translation: “also put up their tents” or “also camped”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
בְּהַ֥ר הַגִּלְעָֽד
in/on/at/with,hill_country the,Gilead
If you made Gilead explicit earlier in this verse in your translation, it may not be necessary to repeat it here. Do what is best in your language.
31:25-30 The dispute between the two men used the language of legal controversies and lawsuits (see also 31:36). In his first argument, Laban presented himself as a wounded party that Jacob had robbed.

OET (OET-RV) When Lavan had caught up to Yacob, Yacob had pitched their tents in the hills, so Lavan with his relatives also pitched theirs on the Gilead hills.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
