What was torn by beasts I did not bring to you
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "I did not bring to you any of your animals that a wild beast tore apart" or "When a wild animal killed any of your animals I did not bring it to you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
I bore the loss of it
For Jacob to count Laban's dead animals as a loss from his own flock is spoken of as if it was a burden he would bear on his shoulders. Alternate translation: "Instead of counting it a loss from your flock, I counted it as a loss from my flock" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
You demanded payment from my hand
It can be made explicit what Jacob had to pay for. Alternate translation "You demanded that I pay you for any animal of yours that was missing" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)
