OET (OET-LV) and_he/it_was from_days many after that he_had_given_rest YHWH to_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) from_all enemies_of_their from_round_about and_Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) he_was_old he_had_come in_the_days.

OET (OET-RV) A long time passed and Yahweh had given Yisrael peace without attacks from their enemies all around, and Yehoshua was now in his old age,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 23:1–16: Joshua warned the Israelites to continue to obey Yahweh

Joshua gave this farewell speech to the Israelites when he was near the end of his life. This section connects back to Joshua 13:1 which says that Joshua was very old, and to Joshua 21:44 which says that God had given the Israelites rest.Butler, p. 254. The text does not say where Joshua gave this farewell speech, but it may have taken place at Shiloh.Woudstra, p. 332.

Here is another possible section heading:

Joshua’s farewell speech to the Israelites

23:1a

A long time after

A long time after: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as A long time after is more literally “from many days.” There is an interpretation issue with this phrase.

  1. It means that a long time passed after Israel was at peace. For example:

    A long time passed after the Lord made Israel secure from all their enemies (NET) (NET, REB, NCV, CEV, KJV)

  2. It means that a long time passed, and then Israel was at peace. For example:

    Much later the Lord gave Israel security from their enemies around them (GNT) (BSB, GNT, RSV, ESV, NASB, NIV, GW, NJPS, NABRE)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). This is followed by many English versions and Bible commentaries.Woudstra, p.332, Butler p. 251.

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

A long time went by

Many years later

23:1b

the LORD had given Israel rest from all the enemies around them,

the LORD had given Israel rest from all the enemies around them: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

after Yahweh had given peace to the Israelites

after Yahweh had made the Israelites secure from their enemies

23:1c

when Joshua was old and well along in years,

when Joshua was old and well along in years: This Hebrew idiom is more literally “Joshua was old and had come in days.” The same Hebrew idiom was used in 13:1. If you have an idiom in your language for old age you could use it here.

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

Joshua was an old man.

Joshua had grown old

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠יָּמִ֣ים רַבִּ֔ים אַ֠חֲרֵי

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was from=days long after which/who given_rest YHWH to,Israel from=all enemies_of,their from,round_about and,Joshua old he/it_came in_the=days )

The author is using the term days by association to mean “time,” since time is made up of days. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [a long time after that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וִ⁠יהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ זָקֵ֔ן בָּ֖א בַּ⁠יָּמִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was from=days long after which/who given_rest YHWH to,Israel from=all enemies_of,their from,round_about and,Joshua old he/it_came in_the=days )

To translate this expression here and in the next verse, see how you translated the similar expression in [Joshua 13:1](../13/01.md). Alternate translation: [that Joshua had grown very old] or [that Joshua had become a very old man]
