UTN uW Translation Notes:

בִּנְיָמִין֙

Binyāmīn

Consider again whether you make “and … descendants” explicit for each of Jacob’s sons in this chapter or whether you leave it implied and possibly put that information in a footnote. See verses 1, 7-8, 11, 13-14, 16, 19-23, 27. Alternate translation: “As for Benjamin, he and his descendants” or “Benjamin, you and your descendants”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

זְאֵ֣ב יִטְרָ֔ף

wolf ravenous

Wolves are a type of large, fierce, wild dog that lives and hunts together in groups. If wolves are unknown in your language area, you could say “wild dog” or “a pack of wild dogs.” Consider again how you translated the metaphors and similes that Jacob uses in verses 4, 9-11, 14, 17, 21-22, 24, 27. Alternate translation: “is like a fierce wolf.” or “will be fierce warriors like hungry wolves.”

in/on/at/with,morning devours until and,in_the,evening divides plunder

Consider again whether to use second person or third person (singular or plural) in verses 3-27, and make sure your translation of the pronouns is clear and natural. To do that, it is helpful to read your translation of this section aloud. Alternate translation: “You defeat their enemies in the morning and share the plunder of battle with your warriors in the evening.”
