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

4:17a

So Joshua commanded the priests,

So Joshua told the priests:
Then Joshua gave this command to the priests:

So Joshua commanded the priests: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as So indicates that the next action in the story is taking place. In this case, it also shows that Joshua’s action is a response to God’s command.

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

and so Joshua commanded the priests

in obedience to God, Joshua commanded the priests

4:17b

“Come up from the Jordan.”

“Bring the ark up from the riverbed.”
“Carry the ark up out of the river.”

Come up from the Jordan: The clause Come up from the Jordan indicates that the priests should come up from the dry riverbed and cross to the west side of the Jordan River. It may be redundant in some languages to repeat this command, which uses almost the same words as in 4:16b. It may be more natural to summarize the action. For example:

Joshua did so (GNT)

So Joshua gave the command (NLT)

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
