OET (OET-RV) These are the kings in the region who the Israelis defeated on the eastern side of the Yordan river and took possession of their land from the Arnon riverbed in the south to Mt. Hermon in the north, including all of the eastern rift valley plains:
Note 1 topic: writing-background
Now these {are} the kings of the land
(Some words not found in UHB: and=these kings the=earth/land which/who defeated sons_of Yisrael and,took_possession_of DOM land,whose in/on/at/with,east the,Jordan ~rise_of,toward the,sun from,wadi ʼArnōn until mount Ḩermōn and=all the,arabah east,to )
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here the author begins to provide background information about how the Israelites divided up the land they conquered. This background information continues through Chapter 21. In this chapter, the author provides a summary of all the territories the Israelites conquered. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
on the other side of the Jordan, from the rising of the sun
(Some words not found in UHB: and=these kings the=earth/land which/who defeated sons_of Yisrael and,took_possession_of DOM land,whose in/on/at/with,east the,Jordan ~rise_of,toward the,sun from,wadi ʼArnōn until mount Ḩermōn and=all the,arabah east,to )
As the General Introduction to Joshua discusses, here and throughout the following chapters, the author describes the location of one place relative to another in the way that is characteristic of his culture. He means here that if someone were traveling from the territories he is about to describe to the area where most of the Israelites settled, he would be coming from the rising of the sun, that is, from the east. In your translation, express this in the way your culture describes the relative location of places. Alternate translation: “to the east of the Jordan River”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
from the sunrise
(Some words not found in UHB: and=these kings the=earth/land which/who defeated sons_of Yisrael and,took_possession_of DOM land,whose in/on/at/with,east the,Jordan ~rise_of,toward the,sun from,wadi ʼArnōn until mount Ḩermōn and=all the,arabah east,to )
As the General Introduction to Joshua discusses, here the author is using the term sunrise by association to mean the direction where the sun rises. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language, here and throughout this chapter. Alternate translation: “on the east side of the Jordan River”
12:1 The Arnon River flows into the Dead Sea midway down its eastern side, creating the Arnon Gorge. Israel began its conquests here (see Num 21:13-15, 21-35).
• Mount Hermon lies twenty-five miles north-northeast of the Sea of Galilee.
