OET (OET-LV) Provide to/for_you(pl) three men to_tribe so_that_I_may_send_them and_they_will_arise and_they_will_walk in/on_the_earth and_they_will_describe_in_writing it to_the_mouth_of their_inheritance_of_their and_they_will_come to_me.

OET (OET-RV) Choose three men from each of those seven[fn] tribes and I’ll send them out to scout around and inspect the land and write descriptions of it in terms of potential allocations and bring it to me.

18:4 Not in the Hebrew but implied by verse 5 as they go on to divide the surveyed land into seven portions.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:1–10 Joshua divided land among the remaining seven clans

In this section Joshua instructed the remaining seven clans to make a plan for dividing up the rest of the land of Canaan.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Dividing the rest of the land

The rest of the land is distributed

18:4a

Appoint three men from each tribe, and I will send them out

Appoint three men from each tribe: The phrase each tribe probably refers to the seven clans that had not yet received their share of land.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Choose three men from each of the seven clans

Appoint three men per clan

18:4b

to survey the land and map it out,

There is a Hebrew verb at the beginning of this clause that the BSB leaves untranslated. This verb means “and they will arise.” This is a Hebrew idiom which is used to indicate the beginning of an action. Translate this in a way that is natural in your language to indicate the beginning of an action.

to survey the land and map it out: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as survey the land and map it out is more literally “they will walk back and forth in the land.”

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

they will walk all around the land

they will go through the land

18:4c

according to the inheritance of each.

according to the inheritance of each: This indicates that the men wrote a description of the land that they wanted to receive for their own clan. The description may have been in the form of a map.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

so that they can make a map of the area they want to receive as their inheritance

They will write a report. The report will show the boundaries of the land that their clan wishes to receive

18:4d

Then they will return to me

Then they will return to me: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Then they must come back to me

Then they must return to me with the report

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠יָקֻ֜מוּ

and,they_will_arise

As in the similar expressions in [1:2](../01/02.md) and [6:26](../06/26.md), Joshua is using the term arise to mean “take action.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and they will act on this matter]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פִ֥י נַֽחֲלָתָ֖⁠ם

to,the_mouth_of their_inheritance_of,their

Joshua is using the expression the mouth to mean “the needs,” since people need food to put in their mouths. Alternate translation: [according to what they need to inherit] or [according to the number of regions that these remaining tribes will need to live in]

18:4 Not in the Hebrew but implied by verse 5 as they go on to divide the surveyed land into seven portions.

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.OET logo mark
