OET (OET-LV) Mosheh servant_of_my he_has_died and_now arise pass_over DOM the_Yardēn/(Jordan) the_this you and_all the_people the_this into the_earth/land which I am_about_to_give to/for_them to_the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).

OET (OET-RV) “Now that my servant Mosheh is dead, you and all these people should pack up and cross over this River Yordan to go to the land that I am about to give to them—to Yisra’el’s descendants.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:1–9 Yahweh spoke to Joshua

In this section Yahweh commanded Joshua to lead the Israelites into the land that he had promised them. He told Joshua that no enemy would be able to oppose him, and that he must obey the law which Yahweh gave to Moses. Joshua told the Israelites to prepare to cross the Jordan River.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Yahweh told Joshua to be strong and courageous

Yahweh told Joshua to lead the people across the Jordan River

Paragraph 1:1–5

Moses led the Israelite people through the wilderness for forty years. At the end of the book of Deuteronomy the people were almost ready to enter the land of Canaan, and Moses died. Here at the beginning of the book of Joshua, Yahweh put Joshua in command of the Israelites, and told him to lead them into Canaan. Yahweh promised to be with Joshua and to help him.

1:2a

“Moses My servant is dead.

Moses My servant is dead: You should translate the word servant the same way you did in 1:1a.

My: The word My refers to Yahweh. It was Yahweh who was speaking.

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

My servant Moses is dead

Moses served me, and now he has died

1:2b

Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan

Now therefore arise: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as arise is more literally “get up.” It is an idiom that indicates the beginning of an action. For example:

get ready to cross the Jordan River (NIV)

you and all these people: The phrase you and all these people refers to Joshua and all the Israelites.

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

Get ready to cross the Jordan River, you and all the people of Israel

You and all the Israelites must prepare to cross the Jordan River

Now get ready to lead all the Israel people across the Jordan River

cross over the Jordan: The clause cross over the Jordan is a command to cross the Jordan River. The Israelites were on the east side of the Jordan River, and the land of Canaan was on the west side. The river is referred to as the Jordan because it was close to the place where Joshua was.

1:2c

into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel.

into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel: In some languages it may be clearer to start a new sentence here. For example:

Go into the land

to the children of Israel: The phrase to the children of Israel is used for emphasis. It emphasizes that Yahweh was giving the land of Canaan to the children of Israel to live in. Joshua was a part of the people of Israel. In some languages it may be clearer to include Joshua in this phrase.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

to you(plur) the people of Israel

to you(sing) and the people of Israel

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

Enter the land that I am giving to you and to all the Israelites

Go into the land which I am giving to all of you

You must go into the land that I am giving to all the Israel people

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וְ⁠עַתָּה֩

(Some words not found in UHB: Mosheh servant_of,my dead and=now arise cross DOM the,Jordan the=this you(ms) and=all the,people the=this to/towards the=earth/land which/who I giving to/for=them to,the_people_of Yisrael )

As the Introduction to Joshua discusses, the phrase translated as And now is an expression that people of this time used to introduce the main point of a message. If your language has a comparable expression that it uses for this same purpose, you can use it in your translation, here and for the other instances of this expression in the book. Alternate translation: [So here is what I want you to do:]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ק֨וּם

arise

Yahweh is using the expression arise to tell Joshua to take action and lead the Israelites across the Jordan River to begin the conquest of Canaan. He is not telling him to get out of bed or stand up from a seated position. Alternate translation: [get going]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

לָ⁠הֶ֖ם לִ⁠בְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

to/for=them to,the_people_of (Some words not found in UHB: Mosheh servant_of,my dead and=now arise cross DOM the,Jordan the=this you(ms) and=all the,people the=this to/towards the=earth/land which/who I giving to/for=them to,the_people_of Yisrael )

Since Joshua is one of the sons of Israel, Yahweh is referring to him in the third person when he says them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could have Yahweh refer to him in the second person. This would indicate explicitly that Joshua is included in this promise. Alternate translation: [to you and the rest of the sons of Israel] or [to you and all of the other people of Israel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠בְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

to,the_people_of (Some words not found in UHB: Mosheh servant_of,my dead and=now arise cross DOM the,Jordan the=this you(ms) and=all the,people the=this to/towards the=earth/land which/who I giving to/for=them to,the_people_of Yisrael )

As the Introduction to Joshua discusses, here and in many places throughout the book, sons means “descendants,” so the phrase sons of is describing a people group. Alternate translation: [to the people of Israel]

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
