This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

4 And_he/it _was just_as they _had _finished all _of the_nation to_pass _over DOM the_Yardēn/(Jordan) and_ YHWH _he/it _said to Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) to_say.

2 Take to/for_you(pl) from the_people two _plus ten men a _man one a _man one from_a _tribe.

3 And_command them to_say take _up to/for_you(pl) from_here from_the _middle _of the _Yardēn from_the _standing-place _of the _feet _of the _priests to _make _firm two _plus ten stones and_you(pl)_will _take _over them with_you(pl) and_you(pl)_will _set _down them at_place which you(pl)_will _stay in_him/it the_night.

4 and_he/it _called Yəhōshūˊa to two _plus the_ten man whom he _had _appointed from_(the)_sons of _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) a _man one a _man one from_a _tribe.

5 And_he/it _said to/for_them Yəhōshūˊa pass _over to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the _box _of YHWH god _of_your(pl) into the _middle _of the _Yardēn and_take _up to/for_you(pl) each a _stone one on shoulder _of_his to_the _number _of the _tribes _of the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel).

6 So _that it _may _be this a _sign in_midst _of_your(pl) if/because they_will _ask children _of_your(pl) tomorrow to_say what are_the_stones the_these to_you(pl).

7 And_you(pl)_will _say to/for_them (cmp) they _were _cut _off the _waters _of the _Yardēn/(Jordan) from_face/in _front _of the _box _of the _covenant _of YHWH when_it_passed _on in_Yardēn they _were _cut _off the _waters _of the _Yardēn and_they _will _be the_stones the_these (into)_a_memorial for_the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) until perpetuity.

8 And_they _made thus the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel)[fn] just_as Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) he _had _commanded and_they _took _up two _plus _of ten stones from_the _middle _of the _Yardēn just_as he _had _said YHWH to Yəhōshūˊa to_the _number _of the _tribes _of the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_they_took _them _over with_them to the _lodging_place and_they_set _them _down there.

9 And_two _plus ten stones Yəhōshūˊa he _set _up in _the_middle of_the _Yardēn in _the _place _of the _standing-place _of the _feet _of the _priests (of)_the _box _of who_carry _of the _covenant and_they _were there until the_day (the)_this.

10 And_the_priests who_carry _of (of)_the_box were_standing in _the_middle of_the _Yardēn until was _finished every _of (the)_thing which he _had _commanded YHWH DOM Yəhōshūˊa to_speak to the_people according_to _all that he _had _commanded Mosheh DOM Yəhōshūˊa and_they _hurried the_people and_they _passed _over.

11 And_he/it _was just_as it _had _finished all _of the_people to_pass _over and_ the _box _of _he/it _passed _through of_YHWH and_the_priests to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the_people.

12 And_ the _descendants _of _they _passed _over of _Rəʼūⱱēn and_the _sons of _Gād and_the _half _of the _tribe _of (the)_Mənashsheh arrayed _for _battle to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) just_as he _had _spoken to_them Mosheh.

13 About_forty thousand (the)_man_equipped _of (the)_war they _passed _over to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before YHWH for_battle to the _plains _of Yərīḩō/(Jericho).

14 in _the_day (the)_that YHWH he _made _great DOM Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in/on_both _eyes _of all _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_they _saw DOM_him/it just_as they _had _feared DOM Mosheh all _of the _days _of his/its_life.

15 and_ YHWH _he/it _said to Yəhōshūˊa to_say.

16 Command DOM the_priests who_carry _of (of)_the _box _of the _transcript and_let _them _come _up from the_Yardēn/(Jordan).

17 And_ Yəhōshūˊa _he/it _commanded DOM the_priests to_say come _up from the_Yardēn.

18 And_he/it _was just_as _came _up[fn] the_priests who_carry _of (of)_the _box _of the _covenant _of YHWH from_the _middle _of the _Yardēn the _soles _of they _were _drawn _out of _the _feet _of of_the _priests to the _dry_ground and_ the _waters _of _they _returned of_the _Yardēn to_place _of_their and_they _went as_yesterday three _days _ago over all _of banks _of_its.

19 And_the_people they _went _up from the_Yardēn on_ten of_month (the)_first and_they _encamped at_Gilgāl on_the _edge _of the _east _of Yərīḩō.

20 And_DOM two _plus ten the_stones the_these which they _had _taken from the_Yardēn Yəhōshūˊa he _set _up at_Gilgāl.

21 And_he/it _said to the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) to_say that they_will _ask children _of_your(pl) tomorrow DOM fathers _of_their to_say what are_the_stones the_these.

22 And_you(pl)_will _make _known _to DOM children _of_your(pl) to_say on_ground Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) it _passed _over DOM the_Yardēn (the)_this.

23 That he _dried _up YHWH god _of_your(pl) DOM the _waters _of the _Yardēn/(Jordan) from_before _of_you(pl) until you_had _passed _over just_as he _did YHWH god _of_your(pl) to_the_sea _of reed[s] which he _dried _up from_before _of_us until we_had _passed _over.

24 So _as to _know all _of the _peoples _of the_earth/land DOM the _hand _of YHWH if/because _that is_mighty it so _that you(pl)_may _fear DOM YHWH god _of_your(pl) all _of the_days.
