Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / politeness
לִקְט֣וּ אֲבָנִ֔ים

and=they_took stones and,made heap
Alternate translation: “So they all brought stones and put them in a large pile”

Make sure your translation does not sound like Jacob ate without Laban and his men. Alternate translation: “Then they ate a meal together there”

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,heap
Alternate translation: “near the heap of stones.” or “next to the mound of stones.”
31:45-48 The stone and the heap of stones were a monument to the border treaty between the two men, as a witness to future generations. Each man named the monument witness pile in his native language. It remained the perpetual border between Israel and the kingdom of Aram (Syria), two nations often at war.
