31:48 Note: We read one or more accents in L differently than BHS. Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS.
OET (OET-RV) Then Lavan said, “This pile is a witness of the agreement between me and you today.” (That’s why he’d named it Galeed.)
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָבָ֔ן
and=he/it_said Lāⱱān
Alternate translation: “Then Laban said to Jacob” or “Laban said to Jacob,”
הַגַּ֨ל הַזֶּ֥ה עֵ֛ד בֵּינִ֥י וּבֵינְךָ֖ הַיּ֑וֹם
the,heap the=this witness between,me and,between,you the=day
Alternate translation: “This pile of stones is to remind us to keep our peace covenant” or “Starting today, when we see this mound of stones, we will remember our peace covenant”
עַל כֵּ֥ן
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so
Alternate translation: “That is the reason”
קָרָֽא שְׁמ֖וֹ גַּלְעֵֽד
he/it_called his/its=name Galeed
The phrase he called its name is used here in a general way that means “they/people call it”; the pronoun he does not refer here to Laban. Make sure that is clear in your language. Alternate translation: “they call it Galeed.” or “that place is called Galeed.”
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.

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.
