OET (OET-LV) A_man one of_you(pl) he_puts_to_flight a_thousand if/because YHWH god_of_your(pl) he is_the_one_who_fights to/for_you(pl) just_as he_spoke to_you(pl).

OET (OET-RV) Just one of you can make a thousand men flee, because Yahweh is your god—he’s the one who fights for you just like he said he would.

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

23:10a

One of you can put a thousand to flight,

One of you can put a thousand to flight: The Hebrew clause that the BSB translates as One of you can put a thousand to flight is more literally “One man of you chases a thousand.” This indicates that one Israelite soldier can make a thousand enemy soldiers run away.

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

One of you is able to chase away one thousand of the enemy.

One of you will make a thousand of them run away

23:10b

because the LORD your God fights for you, just as He promised.

because: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as because can also be translated “since.” It introduces the reason why one Israelite soldier was able to make one thousand enemy soldiers run away.

the LORD your God fights for you: This clause uses the same words as verse 23:3b. The BSB translated the Hebrew participle “the one who fights” in the past tense in that verse (23:3) because the context referred to what had already happened. It is translated in the present tense here because it refers to the pattern of how God operates. Use the tense or aspect that is natural in your language.

just as He promised: This clause uses similar words as verse 23:5c.

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

because Yahweh your God is the one fighting on your behalf, as he told you he would do

because Yahweh your God helps you to defeat your enemies. He promised that he would do this for you

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

אִישׁ־אֶחָ֥ד מִ⁠כֶּ֖ם יִרְדָּף־אָ֑לֶף

(a)_man one(ms) (Some words not found in UHB: (a)_man one(ms) of,you(pl) puts_to_flight a_thousand that/for/because/then/when YHWH God_of,your(pl) he/it [is]_the,[one_who]_fights to/for=you(pl) just=as he/it_had_said to,you(pl) )

Joshua is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [Each one of you is able to defeat many enemies]
