OET (OET-RV) “If there’s so many of you,” Yehoshua answered, “and if Efraim’s hill-country is too small for you, go into the forested area of the Perizzites and the Refaites and clear some land for yourselves there.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
לְךָ֖
to/for=yourself(m)
Joshua is speaking to the tribes of Joseph as if they were a single person who could receive commands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly using plural pronouns. Alternate translation: “all of you are ... go up for yourselves ... you shall clear for yourselves ... to all of you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וּבֵרֵאתָ֤
and,clear
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and you shall clear the land”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
הַפְּרִזִּ֖י
the,Perizzites
The author is not referring to a specific Perizzite. He means the Perizzite people group in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “the Perizzites”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אָ֥ץ לְךָ֖
narrow to/for=yourself(m)
Joshua is using a common expression to mean there is not enough space. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is not big enough for you”
17:15 The Perizzites lived in Canaan when Israel’s conquest began.
• Rephaites: See study note on 12:4; see also Deut 2:10-11, 20-21; 3:11.

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.
