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

23:3a

“and you have seen everything that the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake,

and you have seen: The people of Israel had seen with their own eyes how God had defeated their enemies. The pronoun you is emphatic in Hebrew.

everything that the LORD your God has done to all these nations: This phrase indicates that Yahweh had defeated all the nations.

for your sake: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as for your sake is more literally, “from in front of you.” It means that Yahweh did everything in order to help the Israelites.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

on your behalf

to help you

It may be clearer to change the pronoun reference to include Joshua:

on our behalf

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

You have seen for yourselves everything that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations on your/our behalf.

You yourselves have seen how Yahweh your God has done for us. He has defeated the enemy nations.

23:3b

because it was the LORD your God who fought for you.

because it was the LORD your God who fought for you: This clause is similar to the statement in 10:14. It indicates that the Israelites were only able to defeat their enemies because of what Yahweh did for them.

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

Yahweh your God was the one fighting on your behalf

Yahweh your God enabled you to defeat your enemies

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

וְ⁠אַתֶּ֣ם רְאִיתֶ֗ם & אֱלֹהֵי⁠כֶ֛ם & מִ⁠פְּנֵי⁠כֶ֑ם & אֱלֹהֵי⁠כֶ֔ם & לָ⁠כֶֽם

and,you(pl) seen & God_of,your(pl) & because,of,you(pl) & God_of,your(pl) & for,you(pl)

The words you, yourselves, and your are plural throughout this chapter because Joshua is addressing the assembled Israelites and their leaders. So use plural forms in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מִ⁠פְּנֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

because,of,you(pl)

Joshua is using one part of the Israelites, their faces, to represent all of them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. See the Introduction to Judges for a discussion of the use of the phrase from your faces in this passage. Alternate translation: [because of you]
