Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בֵית־יוֹסֵ֛ף
house_of Yōşēf
Here the term house means all the people descended from a particular person. It envisions them as if they were one household living together. So the house of Joseph means all the people descended from the patriarch Joseph. By this time, those descendants had become the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. Alternate translation: “the descendants of Joseph” or “the armies of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַֽיהוָ֖ה עִמָּֽם
and=YHWH with,them
See how you translated the same expression in 1:19. Alternate translation: “and Yahweh helped them”
1:22 The Lord was with the descendants of Joseph (the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh), but only in their united attack on Bethel, a place sacred to Israelite memories from the days of Jacob (Gen 28:19). They failed in attacks made separately (Judg 1:27-29).
• Bethel is associated with the battle against Ai (Josh 7:2) and is listed in the summary statement of kings that Israel had defeated (Josh 12:16).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
