OET (OET-RV) Then I took your ancestor Abraham from beyond the river and brought him across all the land of Canaan, and I multiplied his descendants, including giving him Isaac.

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

24:3a

But I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates

But: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as But introduces the next event in the storyline. Translate this word with a natural connector in your language.

I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates: Yahweh led Abraham away from his former country, which was on the east side of the Euphrates River. This place was mentioned in verse 2.

I: God is speaking here. The person who said I is God, not Joshua.

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

Then I brought Abraham your ancestor from the east side of the Euphrates River

But I led your ancestor Abraham away from that land

24:3b

and led him through all the land of Canaan, and I multiplied his descendants.

and led him through all the land of Canaan: It may be more natural in many languages to begin a new sentence here.

and I multiplied his descendants: The clause I multiplied his descendants indicates that Yahweh enabled Abraham to have many descendants.

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

I led him through the entire land of Canaan and multiplied his descendants

I brought him into all the land of Canaan and gave him many children and grandchildren

24:3c

I gave him Isaac,

I gave him Isaac: The clause I gave him Isaac indicates that Yahweh was the one who enabled Abraham to become the father of Isaac.

Here is another way to translate this part of the verse:

I gave Abraham his son Isaac

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶת־זַרְע֔⁠וֹ

DOM DOM DOM his/its=seed

Yahweh is speaking of Abraham’s descendants as if they were his seed. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his descendants]
