OET (OET-LV) On the_mouth_of YHWH they_gave to_him/it DOM the_city which he_asked_for DOM Timnath Serah in/on/at/with_hill_country_of ʼEfrayim and_rebuilt DOM the_city and_he/it_sat_down//remained//lived in/on/at/with_it.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
עַל־פִּ֨י יְהוָ֜ה
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in command_of YHWH
The author is using the term mouth by association to mean the words that Yahweh spoke. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [As Yahweh had commanded]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיִּבְנֶ֥ה אֶת־הָעִ֖יר
and,rebuilt DOM the=city
Since the city of Timnath Serah already existed, the author seems to mean implicitly that Joshua rebuilt the city after the Israelites had attacked and conquered it or that Joshua fortified and expanded it. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And Joshua rebuilt the city] or [And Joshua fortified and expanded the city]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַיִּבְנֶ֥ה אֶת־הָעִ֖יר
and,rebuilt DOM the=city
The author is using Joshua to represent everyone who worked to rebuild or fortify Timnath Serah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Joshua had the city rebuilt] or [And Joshua directed the fortification and expansion of the city]
19:49-50 The piece of land given to Joshua closes the section on the allocation of land to the tribes of Israel (see study note on 14:1–19:51).

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.
