וַיֵּצְאוּ֮ כָּל בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ וַתִּקָּהֵ֨ל הָעֵדָ֜ה כְּאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֗ד לְמִדָּן֙ וְעַד בְּאֵ֣ר שֶׁ֔בַע וְאֶ֖רֶץ הַגִּלְעָ֑ד אֶל יְהוָ֖ה הַמִּצְפָּֽה

It may be more natural in your language to put the information about where the Israelites came from with the statement that they came forth. Alternate translation: [Then all of the sons of Israel came forth, from Dan and unto Beersheba and the land of Gilead, and the congregation was assembled as one man to Yahweh at Mizpah]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וַיֵּצְאוּ֮ כָּל בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒
and=they_went_out all/each/any/every sons_of Yisrael
The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [Then a great number of Israelites gathered]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַתִּקָּהֵ֨ל הָעֵדָ֜ה
and,assembled the,congregation
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and the congregation assembled]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כְּאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֗ד
as,man one(ms)
The point of this comparison is that just as one person acts with single intention, so the Israelites who gathered all had the same intention, to punish the outrageous act that they had heard about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [with the same intention]
20:1 This was not the Mizpah east of the Jordan associated with Jephthah (10:17; 11:11, 29, 34), but a place in central Israel. This common name means “watchtower.”

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.
