OET (OET-RV) Then all the people returned to Yehoshua in the camp at Makkedah. After that, no one dared to criticise the Israelis.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–27 Five Canaanite Kings attacked the Israelites

The kings of five Canaanite towns joined together to fight against Gibeon. Because the Israelites had a peace treaty with Gibeon, they helped them in their fight. Yahweh helped the Israelites by sending down hailstones on the Canaanites, and by causing the sun to stop moving so that the Israelites could continue their victory. The five Canaanite kings were captured and put to death.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Israel defeated the Canaan group

The sun stood still

10:21a

The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah,

The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah: The clause returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah indicates that Joshua had made a temporary camp at Makkedah and waited there for the army to return from battle.

Makkedah: The town of Makkedah was mentioned in 10:10. Makkedah was in the southern part of Canaan, about 14 kilometers west of Hebron.10:21 Rasmussen, p. 244. Joshua made his camp there temporarily while the Israelite army attacked the towns in the south of Canaan.

General Comment on 10:20a-21a

It may be clearer in some languages to split this long sentence into several shorter sentences. For example:

20aJoshua and the Israelite soldiers killed almost all of the Amorite soldiers. 20bThere were hardly any left alive. 20cThose who were still alive ran into their fortified towns. 21aThen all the Israelite soldiers returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah.

10:21b

and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.

no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites: The Hebrew clause that the BSB translates as no one dared to utter a word is more literally “not a man sharpened his tongue.” This Hebrew idiom indicates that none of the Canaanites criticized the Israelites or spoke anything bad about them, because they saw how powerful the Israelites were.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

no one dared to speak against any of the Israelites (NRSV)

no one uttered a word against the Israelites (NIV)

no one around there dared say anything bad about the Israelites (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠שָׁל֑וֹם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_returned all the,people to/towards the,camp to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) Maqqēdāh in,peace not moved to,the_people_of Yisrael to,anyone DOM tongue_of,his )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [peacefully]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹֽא־חָרַ֞ץ לִ⁠בְנֵ֧י יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל & אֶת־לְשֹׁנֽ⁠וֹ

not moved to,the_people_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_returned all the,people to/towards the,camp to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) Maqqēdāh in,peace not moved to,the_people_of Yisrael to,anyone DOM tongue_of,his )

The author is speaking as if people could sharpen their tongues. He means that no one used his tongue as if it were a weapon to attack the Israelites by saying something hostile to them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [No one said anything hostile about the sons of Israel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠אִ֖ישׁ

to,anyone

The author means implicitly that no one spoke against even a single Israelite. Alternate translation: [not even against any single one of them]
