4:18 OSHB variant note: ב/עלות: (x-qere) ’כַּ/עֲל֨וֹת’: lemma_k/5927 morph_HR/Vqc id_06Erp כַּ/עֲל֨וֹת

OET (OET-RV) As soon as the priests carrying the box with Yahweh’s agreement came up out of what had been the Yordan River and their feet stepped onto what had been dry land, the river water returned to its place and overflowed it banks as it had been doing for the previous few days.

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

4:18a

When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD

The Hebrew word that the BSB leaves untranslated but many English versions translate as “and” signals the next event in the storyline.

the ark of the covenant of the LORD: See how you translated this in 3:3.

4:18b

came up out of the Jordan

came up out of the Jordan: The clause came up out of the Jordan indicates that the priests came up from the middle of the dry riverbed to the west side of the Jordan River.

4:18c

and their feet touched the dry land,

touched the dry land: The phrase touched the dry land means that the priests stepped up out of the riverbed, and onto the dry ground. It may be more natural in some languages to leave the words touched implicit. For example:

And their feet were on high ground (NLT)

4:18d

the waters of the Jordan returned to their course

the waters of the Jordan: Another way to translate this is:

the Jordan River

returned to their course: The phrase returned to their course means that the water began to flow again, as it had before the priests first stepped into the river.

4:18e

and overflowed all the banks as before.

and overflowed all the banks as before: In 3:15 it says that the Jordan River was in flood. The clause overflowed all the banks as before indicates that the river now returned to being flooded again. The water was as high as it was before the priests stepped into it.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִתְּק֗וּ כַּפּוֹת֙ רַגְלֵ֣י הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֔ים אֶ֖ל הֶ⁠חָרָבָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just,as_came_up the,priests carrying_of ark_of covenant_of YHWH from,the_middle_of of,the_Jordan lifted_up soles_of feet_of of,the_priests to/towards the_dry,ground and,they_returned waters_of of,the_Jordan to,place_of,their and,they_went as,yesterday before on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every banks_of,its )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [when the priests lifted the soles of their feet up to dry ground]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כִ⁠תְמוֹל־שִׁלְשׁ֖וֹם

as,yesterday (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just,as_came_up the,priests carrying_of ark_of covenant_of YHWH from,the_middle_of of,the_Jordan lifted_up soles_of feet_of of,the_priests to/towards the_dry,ground and,they_returned waters_of of,the_Jordan to,place_of,their and,they_went as,yesterday before on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every banks_of,its )

See how you translated the same expression in [Joshua 3:4](../03/04.md). Alternate translation: [as they had done previously]

OET (OET-RV) As soon as the priests carrying the box with Yahweh’s agreement came up out of what had been the Yordan River and their feet stepped onto what had been dry land, the river water returned to its place and overflowed it banks as it had been doing for the previous few days.

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.OET logo mark
