Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּאמֶר֮ יַעֲקֹב֒

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Yaakob god_of my_father_of,my ʼAⱱrāhām and,the_God_of my_father_of,my Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) YHWH [who],said to=me return to,land_of,your and,to,kindred_of,your and,I_will_do_good with,you )

Alternate translation: [Then Jacob prayed]

אֱלֹהֵי֙ אָבִ֣⁠י אַבְרָהָ֔ם וֵ⁠אלֹהֵ֖י אָבִ֣⁠י יִצְחָ֑ק יְהוָ֞ה

god_of my_father_of,my ʼAⱱrāhām and,the_God_of my_father_of,my Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) YHWH

Make sure that your translation of this address refers to only one God, not two or three different Gods. Also make sure it is clear that Jacob is talking directly to Yahweh, not talking about him. Alternate translation: [Dear Yahweh, the God whom my grandfather Abraham and my father Isaac worshiped]

הָ⁠אֹמֵ֣ר אֵלַ֗⁠י שׁ֧וּב לְ⁠אַרְצְ⁠ךָ֛ וּ⁠לְ⁠מוֹלַדְתְּ⁠ךָ֖

[who],said to=me return to,land_of,your (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Yaakob god_of my_father_of,my ʼAⱱrāhām and,the_God_of my_father_of,my Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) YHWH [who],said to=me return to,land_of,your and,to,kindred_of,your and,I_will_do_good with,you )

Consider whether it is more natural in your language to use a direct or indirect quote here. Also see how you translated land and relatives in Genesis 31:3. Alternate translation: [you told me to go back to my homeland where my relatives live]

וְ⁠אֵיטִ֥יבָה עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

and,I_will_do_good (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Yaakob god_of my_father_of,my ʼAⱱrāhām and,the_God_of my_father_of,my Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) YHWH [who],said to=me return to,land_of,your and,to,kindred_of,your and,I_will_do_good with,you )

Make sure your choice of I or you (for God) and you or me (for Jacob) in this clause fits with the way you translated the previous part of this quote. Alternate translation: [and that you would make things go well for me]
