31:45 So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial pillar. 31:46 Then he 1 said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they brought stones and put them in a pile. 2 They ate there by the pile of stones.
1 tn Heb “Jacob”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
2 sn The Hebrew word for “pile” is גַּל (gal), which sounds like the name “Galeed” (גַּלְעֵד, gal’ed). See v. 48.
