OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was just_as they_had_finished all_of the_nation to_pass_over DOM the_Yardēn/(Jordan) and_ YHWH _he/it_said to Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) to_say.
Twelve men from among the Israelites each took a stone from the middle of the Jordan River. With these stones Joshua built a monument to remind the Israelite people, and their descendants, about how God helped them cross the river.
Here are some other possible section headings:
Setting up memorial stones
Twelve memorial stones
A reminder that God brought them to the promised land
When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan,
¶ When all the Israelite people crossed the Jordan,
¶ All the Israelites finished crossing over the Jordan River.
When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan: In some languages it may be more natural to make this into an independent clause. For example, you could say:
1aAll the Israelites finished crossing the Jordan River. 1bThen Yahweh said to Joshua…
the whole nation: The phrase the whole nation refers to all the Israelite people.
had finished crossing the Jordan: The phrase had finished crossing the Jordan means that the Israelites crossed over to the west side of the Jordan River.
the LORD said to Joshua,
Yahweh said to Joshua:
Then Yahweh commanded Joshua:
the LORD said to Joshua: Here is another way to translate this phrase:
Yahweh commanded

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
