OET (OET-LV) And_now remove DOM the_gods_of (the)_foreignness which are_in_midst_of_your(pl) and_bend_down DOM heart_of_your(pl) to YHWH the_god_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).

OET (OET-RV) “Then you all go right now and remove the foreign gods that you already have, and turn your hearts towards Yahweh, the god of Yisrael,” said Yehoshua.

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

24:23a

“Now, therefore,” he said, “get rid of the foreign gods among you

“Now, therefore,” he said: The Hebrew text does not have the words he said. The BSB had supplied these words to indicate that Joshua was speaking again. In your translation, make it clear that Joshua is speaking.

The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as Now, therefore introduces a conclusion from the previous paragraphs. Because of their commitment, the people must put away their other gods. Introduce this conclusion in a way that is natural in your language.

get rid of the foreign gods among you: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as get rid of was translated as “cast aside" in verse 24:14.

foreign gods: The phrase foreign gods refers to all gods besides Yahweh. They were the gods of other foreign nations.

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

Joshua told them, “Destroy any foreign god that you have

Then Joshua said, “Throw away all the other gods that you still have

24:23b

and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.”

and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel: The clause incline your hearts is an idiom. It means “be completely committed” to Yahweh.

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

and turn your hearts to Yahweh, the God of Israel

Commit yourselves to Yahweh, the God of the Israelite nation.

Dedicate yourself to serve only Yahweh, the God of Israel.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הַטּוּ֙ אֶת־לְבַבְ⁠כֶ֔ם

and,bend_down DOM heart_of,your(pl)

Joshua is speaking as if a person’s heart were something that he could stretch out toward someone. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and give your complete devotion]
