OET interlinear JOS 1:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

כָּל־אִ֞ישׁ

all/each/any/every (a)_man

Although the term man is masculine, the speakers are using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [Every person]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

כָּל־אִ֞ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יַמְרֶ֣ה אֶת־פִּ֗י⁠ךָ וְ⁠לֹֽא־יִשְׁמַ֧ע אֶת־דְּבָרֶ֛י⁠ךָ לְ⁠כֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־תְּצַוֶּ֖⁠נּוּ יוּמָ֑ת

all/each/any/every (a)_man which/who rebels DOM mouth_of,your and=not obey DOM words_of,your to=all/each/any/every which/who you,will_command_him put_to_death

These two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize that any form of disobedience will be punished. The phrase disobeys your mouth and the phrase will not hear your words mean basically the same thing. The speakers are saying the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, to emphasize that they will put to death anyone who disobeys what Joshua commands. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the phrases and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [We will surely put to death every man who disobeys what you instruct us to do]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יַמְרֶ֣ה אֶת־פִּ֗י⁠ךָ וְ⁠לֹֽא־יִשְׁמַ֧ע אֶת־דְּבָרֶ֛י⁠ךָ

rebels DOM mouth_of,your and=not obey DOM words_of,your

The speakers are using the words mouth and words and associating them with the instructions or commands that Joshua would speak with his mouth using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [disobeys your commands and will not hear your instructions]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יוּמָ֑ת

put_to_death

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, the context indicates that the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh will do it. Alternate translation: [we will put to death]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יוּמָ֑ת

put_to_death

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the same idea with an active verb or in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [we will kill]
