OET (OET-RV) So now, select one man from each of your twelve tribes,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:1–17 The Israelites crossed the Jordan River

The Israelites waited three days beside the Jordan and then crossed the river. The priests carried the ark and led the way. As soon as the priests stepped into the river, the water stopped flowing, and everyone was able to cross the river on dry ground.

Paragraph 3:9–13

Joshua told the people about the miracle that Yahweh will do.

3:12

Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.

Now: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as Now is more literally “and now.” Its function is to introduce a new thought.3:12 Holladay p. 287. This thought is about the twelve men who have an important part in crossing the Jordan River. Their role is explained further in chapter 4.3:12 Hess p. 113. This sentence interrupts the instructions about the priests and the covenant box.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

So

Therefore

choose twelve men: The reason why they chose these twelve men is not explained until Joshua 4:3.

from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe: Joshua told each of the twelve tribes of Israel to choose one man from their tribe.

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

So, choose twelve men, one man from each tribe of Israel

The instructions about these twelve men are not finished until Joshua 4:3. It may be helpful to make this explicit. For example:

So, choose twelve men, one man from each tribe of Israel. Later I will tell you what they should do.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִישׁ־אֶחָ֥ד אִישׁ־אֶחָ֖ד לַ⁠שָּֽׁבֶט

(a)_man one(ms) (a)_man one(ms) (Some words not found in UHB: and=now take to/for=you(pl) two_of ten (a)_man from,the_tribes_of Yisrael (a)_man one(ms) (a)_man one(ms) to,tribe )

Joshua is using a common expression to indicate individuals representing groups to which they belong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [taking one man from each tribe] or [choosing one representative from each tribe]
