OET (OET-RV) To the descendants of Re’uven and Gad, and to the Menasheh (Manasseh) half-tribe, Yehoshua said,
In this section Joshua told the Israelites to get ready and prepare food to cross the Jordan River. He reminded the men of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh that they would cross the Jordan River with the rest of the Israelites.
Here are some other possible sections headings:
Preparing to cross the Jordan River
The tribes of Reuben, Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh already chose land on the east side of the Jordan River. In this paragraph Joshua reminded the men of these tribes about what they promised Moses. They promised to help the other Israelites conquer the land on the west of the Jordan River. When they had done this, they could return to their own territory.
But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
¶ Then Joshua spoke to the people of the clans of Reuben and Gad and half the clan of Manasseh and said:
¶ But Joshua said this to the clan of Reuben, the clan of Gad and the half-clan of Manasseh:
But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said: In verses 1ː10–11 Joshua spoke to the leaders of the people of Israel. In verses 1:12–15 he spoke to just two and a half of the tribes. The Hebrew text shows this contrast by putting to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh at the beginning of the sentence. Use the connection and sentence order that is most natural in your language.
the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh: This refers to the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh. They already received their territory on the east side of the Jordan. See Numbers 32.
tribe: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as tribe can also be translated “branch” or “clan.” The Israelites were divided into twelve tribes. Each tribe was named after one of the sons of Jacob. The people in the tribe were descendants of that ancestor. Choose a word for a group of people who are descended from a common ancestor. See also the note at Joshua 7:14 where “tribe” and “clan” are used in the same verse.
Here are some other ways to translate the word tribe:
clan
branch
division
