UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-key-terms

וַֽ⁠יְבָרְכֵ֖⁠הוּ

and,blessed,him

Make sure your translation of “blessed … and said” refers to the same event, not two separate events. Also see how you translated “bless” in Gen 12:2-3. Alternate translation: “He blessed Abram” or “So Melchizedek blessed Abram”

בָּר֤וּךְ אַבְרָם֙

blessed Avram

Alternate translation: “I pray that you Abram will be blessed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

לְ⁠אֵ֣ל עֶלְי֔וֹן

by,God most_high

See how you translated this title in verse 18. For some languages it may be better to switch the order of phrases in this sentence and say, “May the greatest God, who owns heaven and earth, bless Abram/you.” or “I pray that the most high/powerful God, who created heaven and earth, will bless you Abram.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “by the most high God,” or “by the highest God,”

קֹנֵ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

maker heaven and,earth

The Hebrew word for Possessor also means “Creator,” which is used in many translations. Whichever one you do not use in the text you could put in a footnote. Alternate translation: “who is the Owner of heaven and earth.” or “who created heaven and earth.”
