UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יָּבֹא֙ הַ⁠פָּלִ֔יט

and,came the,who_had_escaped

Alternate translation: “Then someone from Sodom escaped from the battle and came”

וַ⁠יַּגֵּ֖ד לְ⁠אַבְרָ֣ם הָ⁠עִבְרִ֑י

and,told to,Abram the,Hebrew

The Hebrew people are the descendants of Abram (Abraham), and they were named after his ancestor Eber, who was Shem’s great grandson (Genesis 11:10-26). Some of this information could be put in a footnote.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-background

וְ⁠הוּא֩

and=he

This phrase introduces background information about Abram as part of the setting for what happens next. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Alternate translation: “Now at that time he” or “At that time he”

שֹׁכֵ֨ן בְּ⁠אֵֽלֹנֵ֜י מַמְרֵ֣א

living in/on/at/with,oaks Mamre

See how you translated this clause in Gen 13:18. Alternate translation: “was still living by the oak trees that were owned by Mamre” or “was still living by the oak trees on the land owned by Mamre”

הָ⁠אֱמֹרִ֗י

the=Emori

See how you translated “Amorites” in verse 7. Alternate translation: “who was a member of the Amorite people group”

אֲחִ֤י אֶשְׁכֹּל֙ וַ⁠אֲחִ֣י עָנֵ֔ר

brother Eshcol and,brother Aner

Alternate translation: “whose brothers were Eshcol and Aner”

וְ⁠הֵ֖ם

and,these

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here.

בַּעֲלֵ֥י בְרִית אַבְרָֽם

were allies Avram

Alternate translation: “had made a covenant with Abram to be his allies.” or “and Abram had made a pact together that they would help each other against their enemies.”
