OET (OET-LV) and_ Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) _he_gathered DOM all_of the_tribes_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to_Shəkem and_he/it_called (to)_the_elders_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_(to)_chiefs_of_its and_(to)_judges_of_its and_(to)_officials_of_its and_they_presented_themselves to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_ʼElohīm.

OET (OET-RV) Then Yehoshua assembled all the tribes of Yisrael at Shekem. He summoned their elders, leaders, judges, and officers, and they presented themselves before God,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:1–33: Israel renewed their covenant with Yahweh

In this section Joshua called the people of Israel together to affirm that they would worship and obey only Yahweh. He warned them that Yahweh would bring disaster on them if they worshiped other gods. Then Joshua died and was buried.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Renewing the covenant at Shechem

The Israelites promise to worship only Yahweh

24:1a

Then Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem.

Then: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as Then introduces the next event in the storyline. It is not certain how much time had passed between chapter 23 and chapter 24. It is recommended that you use an indefinite marker of time. Some English versions do not use a time marker here.

Here are some other ways to introduce this paragraph:

Afterwards

Sometime later

Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem: The clause Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel indicates that Joshua sent a message to all the people of Israel asking them to come and meet together.

the tribes of Israel: The tribes of Israel refers to all the people who were descended from the twelve sons of Jacob. They all shared a common culture and language. Choose a translation of the word “tribe” that reflects this kind of relationship.

Shechem: The town of Shechem was mentioned in 17:7.

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

Later Joshua called all the clans of Israel to come together at Shechem town

Afterwards, Joshua sent for all the clans of Israel to gather at Shechem town.

24:1b

He summoned the elders, leaders, judges, and officers of Israel,

The Hebrew begins with a conjunction that is usually translated as “and.” However, in some languages it may be more natural to begin a new sentence here like the BSB.

He summoned the elders, leaders, judges, and officers of Israel: This list of terms is like the list in 23:2a. Translate these terms the same way in both places.

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

He called the elders, the heads of families, the judges, and the officers to come together.

He sent for their clan leaders, and their family leaders, and their judges, and their officials.

24:1c

and they presented themselves before God.

and they presented themselves before God: The clause they presented themselves before God indicates that the leaders came and stood in the presence of God. This may mean that they stood before the covenant chest of God, but that is not certain.Woudstra, p. 342.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

They came and stood before God.

They came and stood in the presence of God.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before

See the Introduction to Judges for a discussion of the phrase “to the face of.” Alternate translation: [before]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

24:1 Shechem was the location of the first affirmation of the covenant shortly after Israel had entered the land of Canaan (see 8:30-35 and corresponding study notes).
