OET (OET-LV) And_ Yəhōshūˊa _he_made a_covenant to_people in_the_day (the)_that and_he/it_assigned to_him/it a_decree and_a_judgement at_Shəkem.

OET (OET-RV) So Yehoshua made a formal agreement with the people in Shekem on that day, establishing rules and laws for them.

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

24:25a

On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people,

The Hebrew word that the BSB leaves untranslated but some English versions translate as “so” introduces the next event in the storyline. Introduce the next event in a natural way in your language.

Joshua made a covenant for the people: The term covenant was first mentioned in the book of Joshua in 3:3. It was also used in 23:16. You will probably be able to translate it the same way in all three places.

for the people: The Hebrew preposition that the BSB translates as for can also be translated “with.” Joshua did not make an agreement between the people and himself. Instead, he acted as Yahweh’s representative. He established a covenant between the people and Yahweh.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

That day Joshua drew up an agreement for the people (NET)

Joshua helped Israel make an agreement with the Lord that day (CEV)

That day, Joshua established an agreement between the people and Yahweh (T4T)

24:25b

and there at Shechem he established for them a statute and ordinance.

and there at Shechem he established for them a statute and ordinance: The words statute and ordinance refer to all the laws that Yahweh specified should be part of the covenant. Some languages may not have two terms that refer to laws. In this case, only one term may be used.

Shechem: The town of Shechem was mentioned in verse 24:1.

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

At Shechem, he set up rules and commands for them to follow

He established laws and regulations for them at the town of Shechem

at Shechem…Joshua made laws for Israel (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּכְרֹ֨ת יְהוֹשֻׁ֧עַ בְּרִ֛ית

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_made Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) covenant to,people in_the=day (the)=that and=he/it_assigned to=him/it regulation and,a_judgment at,Shechem )

See how you translated the expression cut a covenant in [Joshua 9:6](../09/06.md). Alternate translation: [And Joshua made a covenant]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

חֹ֥ק וּ⁠מִשְׁפָּ֖ט

regulation (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_made Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) covenant to,people in_the=day (the)=that and=he/it_assigned to=him/it regulation and,a_judgment at,Shechem )

The terms statute and judgment mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [a binding requirement]
