OET (OET-LV) was_a_son_of forty year[s] I when_sent Mosheh the_servant_of YHWH DOM_me from_Qādēsh- barnēˊa to_spy_out DOM the_earth/land and_I_brought_back DOM_him/it a_message just_as with heart_of_my.

OET (OET-RV) I was forty years old when Yahweh’s servant Mosheh sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back an honest report.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:6–15 Joshua gave Caleb the town of Hebron

In this section Caleb reminded Joshua of a promise that Moses had made to him. After Caleb helped to spy out the land of Canaan, Moses promised that he would inherit the land he had walked on. So Joshua granted the town of Hebron to Caleb.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Caleb’s inheritance

Caleb claimed his inheritance

14:7a

I was forty years old

I was forty years old: In some languages it may be more natural to put this phrase at the end of the verse rather than at the beginning.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

When Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh-barnea, I was forty years old.

14:7b

when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea

when Moses the servant of the LORD: This phrase was used in Joshua 1:1 and you should translate it the same way in both places.

sent me from Kadesh-barnea: The account of what happened when Moses sent the twelve spies to explore the land of Canaan occurs in Numbers 13.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

when Moses, Yahweh’s servant, commanded me to go from Kadesh-barnea

Both Caleb and Joshua were among the twelve spies. It is also possible to translate this clause as:

when Moses, Yahweh’s servant, commanded us to go from Kadesh-barnea

14:7c

to spy out the land,

to spy out the land: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as spy out is more literally “explore.”

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

to explore the land

to look all around the land

14:7d

and I brought back to him an honest report.

and I brought back to him: This means that Caleb returned to Moses and gave him a report about what had happened while he explored the land. In some languages it may be clearer to start a new sentence here.

an honest report: The clause an honest report indicates that Caleb spoke honestly about what he had seen in Canaan. (The only other person who was not afraid of the Canaan people was Joshua, but he is not directly mentioned in this narrative.) The other ten spies said that they were afraid of the Canaan people, but Caleb said that God would help the Israelites to fight them.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

I returned and gave him an honest report (NLT)

I brought him back a report according to my convictions (NIV)

I came back and gave him a faithful account about the land.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בֶּן־אַרְבָּעִ֨ים שָׁנָ֜ה אָנֹכִ֗י

(Some words not found in UHB: son_of forty year I when,sent Mosheh servant_of YHWH DOM=me from,Kadesh- -barnēˊa to,spy_out DOM the=earth/land and,I_brought_back DOM=him/it report just=as with heart_of,my )

Caleb is using a common expression of his culture to state his age. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I was 40 years old]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וָ⁠אָשֵׁ֤ב אֹת⁠וֹ֙ דָּבָ֔ר כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֖ר עִם־לְבָבִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: son_of forty year I when,sent Mosheh servant_of YHWH DOM=me from,Kadesh- -barnēˊa to,spy_out DOM the=earth/land and,I_brought_back DOM=him/it report just=as with heart_of,my )

Here, the heart represents the thoughts. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And I told him what I honestly felt to be the truth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דָּבָ֔ר

(Some words not found in UHB: son_of forty year I when,sent Mosheh servant_of YHWH DOM=me from,Kadesh- -barnēˊa to,spy_out DOM the=earth/land and,I_brought_back DOM=him/it report just=as with heart_of,my )

Caleb is using the term word by association to mean the report he gave by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [a report]

OET (OET-RV) I was forty years old when Yahweh’s servant Mosheh sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back an honest report.

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.
