OET (OET-LV) And_ Yəhōshūˊa _he/it_said to the_priests to_say lift_up DOM the_box_of the_covenant and_pass_over to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_people and_they_lifted_up DOM the_box_of the_covenant and_they_went to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_people.

OET (OET-RV) And he told the priests, “Lift up the box with the agreement, and walk across here in front of the people.” So they lifted up the sacred chest and went and stood in front of all the people.

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 3:6

Joshua told the priests to carry the covenant box and go ahead of the people. They did what Joshua told them to do.

3:6a

And he said to the priests,

And: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as And indicates the next event in the story.

he said to the priests: In verse 3:5 Joshua told the people that Yahweh will do wonders “tomorrow.” The events of verse 3:6 took place on the next day. It may be helpful to make this explicit. For example:

The next day, Joshua said to the priests

3:6b

“Take the ark of the covenant

Take the ark of the covenant: The clause Take the ark of the covenant indicates that the priests were to put the covenant box on the carrying poles and carry it. Some languages have a special verb to indicate this method of carrying.

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

Pick up the covenant box on poles on your shoulders

Lift the holy chest to carry it on poles on your shoulders

3:6c

and go on ahead of the people.”

and: the Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as and indicates the next event in the story.

go on ahead of the people: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

go ahead of the people

walk in front of the people

3:6d

So they carried the ark of the covenant

So: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as So indicates the next event in the story.

they carried the ark of the covenant: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Then the priests carried the covenant box on poles on their shoulders

So the priests lifted the holy chest

3:6e

and went ahead of them.

and: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as and indicates the next action in the story.

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

the priests walked ahead of the people

the priests went leading the people
