OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was just_as it_had_finished all_of the_people to_pass_over and_ the_box_of _he/it_passed_through of_YHWH and_the_priests to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_people.

OET (OET-RV) As soon as all the people had crossed over, the priests carrying Yahweh’s box also crossed over in front of the people.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–5:1 The Israelites commemorated the crossing of the Jordan River

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

Paragraph 4:10–11

This paragraph is a summary about the crossing of the Jordan River. The priests obeyed God’s command. They stood in the middle of the river while the rest of the Israelites crossed it. Finally, the priests with the ark of the covenant finished crossing the river.

4:11a

and after everyone had finished crossing,

and: The word and indicates that the next action in the story is about to take place.

after: Another time connector might be clearer such as “as soon as.” Use a time connector that is natural in your language.

everyone had finished crossing: The word everyone refers to all the Israelite people except for the priests carrying the ark.

4:11b

the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.

the priests with the ark of the LORD: The Hebrew language places the ark of the LORD first to emphasize its importance. However, the priests were still carrying the ark. It may be more natural in some languages to translate this phrase as “the priests who were carrying the ark of Yahweh.”

ark: See 3:3 for ideas of how to translate the word ark.

crossed: The word crossed means that the priests crossed the Jordan River to the other side.

in the sight of the people: There are two ways to interpret the phrase in the sight of the people:

  1. The priests crossed the river while the people watched. For example:

    …crossed as the people looked on (NET) (BSB, NET, RSV, NCV, NIV, NLT, NRSV, KJV)

  2. The priests crossed the river and went ahead of the people. For example:

    …went on ahead of the people (GNT) (GNT, NAB, NJB, NJPS, REB)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). The clause “crossed in the sight of the people” points to 4:15–18. The people came out of the river. Then they watched as the priests finished crossing the river.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יַּעֲבֹ֧ר אֲרוֹן־יְהוָ֛ה וְ⁠הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֖ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just=as finished all/each/any/every the,people to,pass_over and=he/it_passed_through ark_of YHWH and,the,priests to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,people )

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The phrase the priests indicates how the Box of Yahweh crossed the Jordan River. Alternate translation: [that the priests carried the Box of Yahweh across the Jordan]
