OET (OET-LV) If/because YHWH god_of_our he is_the_one_who_brought_up us and_DOM fathers_of_our from_the_land_of Miʦrayim from_a_house_of slaves and_which he_did to_eyes_of_our DOM the_signs (the)_great the_these and_he_kept_us in_all the_way which we_went in_it and_among_all_of the_peoples which we_passed in_midst_of_their.

OET (OET-RV) “because Yahweh is our god. He is the one who brought us and our ancestors out from slavery in the land of Egypt, and who did those great miracles right in front of our eyes. Also, he looked after us on our entire journey and among all the people groups that we passed by.

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

24:17a

For the LORD our God brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt,

For: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates For introduces a reason. Here the people explained the reason why they would be faithful to Yahweh.

the LORD our God brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt: The Hebrew construction puts emphasis on the words “Yahweh our God.” This emphasizes the role of Yahweh as the one who saved them.

brought us and our fathers out: The word fathers refers to the parents and grandparents of the people who were standing there with Joshua.

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

Because Yahweh our God is the one who brought us(incl) and our fathers up from the land of Egypt.

This is because of Yahweh our God. He himself led us and our parents and grandparents out of the land of Egypt.

24:17b

out of the house of slavery, and performed these great signs before our eyes.

out of the house of slavery: The term house of slavery is a Hebrew idiom. It refers to the time when the Israelites were slaves in Egypt.

Here are some other ways to translate this idiom:

from that land of slavery (NIV)

from where we were slaves in Egypt

and performed these great signs before our eyes: This indicates that the people saw the miracles that Yahweh did for them. Most of the people standing there were not yet born when the Israelites left Egypt. But the whole group identified with what God had done by bringing them out of Egypt.

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

He took us from the place where we(incl) were slaves and he did great miracles before our eyes.

We were slaves there, but he rescued us and did great things for us to see.

24:17c

He also protected us throughout our journey

He also protected us: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as protected can also be translated “he protected us” or “he watched over us.”

throughout our journey: The phrase throughout our journey indicates that Yahweh took care of them all the time they were walking from Egypt to Canaan.

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

He watched over us wherever we went.

He protected us through our whole journey,

24:17d

and among all the nations through which we traveled.

and among all the nations through which we traveled: Yahweh protected them as they walked through the territory of other nations.

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

He guarded us while we traveled through the lands of other nations

through all the nations that we passed through

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠בֵּ֣ית עֲבָדִ֑ים

from,a_house_of slavery

The people are speaking of Egypt as if it were a house in which they were kept as slaves. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from where we were slaves]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְ⁠עֵינֵ֗י⁠נוּ

to,eyes_of,our

The people are using one part of themselves, their eyes, to mean all of them in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as we watched]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

24:1-27 In both form and content, this statement of covenant resembled an ancient Near Eastern suzerain-vassal treaty. It begins with a preamble (24:2) and continues with a historical prologue relating the suzerain’s (God’s) gracious acts on behalf of the people (24:3-13), followed by a list of stipulations (24:14-15) and curses and blessings (24:19-20). It then notes where the text was to be deposited for periodic reading and renewal (implied, 24:26) and lists witnesses to the covenant (24:22, 27). See also study note on Exod 20:1–23:33.

OET (OET-LV) If/because YHWH god_of_our he is_the_one_who_brought_up us and_DOM fathers_of_our from_the_land_of Miʦrayim from_a_house_of slaves and_which he_did to_eyes_of_our DOM the_signs (the)_great the_these and_he_kept_us in_all the_way which we_went in_it and_among_all_of the_peoples which we_passed in_midst_of_their.

OET (OET-RV) “because Yahweh is our god. He is the one who brought us and our ancestors out from slavery in the land of Egypt, and who did those great miracles right in front of our eyes. Also, he looked after us on our entire journey and among all the people groups that we passed by.

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
