4:8 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.

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

4:8a

Thus the Israelites did as Joshua had commanded them.

¶ Then the twelve Israelite men followed Joshua’s command.
¶ So the Israelite men did what he told them.

Thus: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as Thus indicates that the next action in the story is about to take place. Use a word or particle in your language to show that the story line is progressing.

the Israelites: The phrase the Israelites refers to the twelve men that Joshua chose to carry the stones.

did as Joshua had commanded them: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

The men followed Joshua’s orders (GNT)

So the Israelites obeyed Joshua (NCV)

4:8b

They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan,

They took twelve rocks out of the middle of the river,
They picked up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan River.

took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan: The phrase took up twelve stones means that they picked up twelve stones, The stones were lying in the riverbed. Because the water had stopped flowing, the men could pick up the stones easily.

the middle of the Jordan: The phrase the middle of the Jordan refers to the middle of the Jordan riverbed that was dry.

4:8c

one for each tribe of Israel,

one stone for every clan of Israel,
Each rock represented one of the twelve clans of Israel.

one for each tribe of Israel: The phrase one for each tribe of Israel is a repetition of 4:5d. There were twelve tribes, and there were also twelve stones.

4:8d

just as the LORD had told Joshua;

as Yahweh commanded Joshua.
They obeyed the command which Yahweh gave to Joshua.

just as the LORD had told Joshua: The phrase as the LORD had told Joshua emphasizes that the command to pick up the stones came from Yahweh, not from Joshua. It may be more natural in some languages to combine this phrase with 4:8a. For example:

The men followed the instructions that the Lord had given Joshua (CEV)

4:8e

and they carried them to the camp,

They carried the stones over the river to their camping place,
They carried the rocks across the river to the place where they stayed temporarily,

and: The word and indicates that the next action in the story is about to take place. It may be more natural in some languages to begin a new sentence here. Use a word or particle in your language to show that the story line is progressing.

they carried them: The phrase they carried them means that the twelve men carried the twelve stones across the river.

to the camp: The phrase to the camp refers to the place where the Israelites set up their camp or temporary dwelling place. If there is no word “camp” in your language, you may translate this phrase as “the place where they stayed for a short time.”

4:8f

where they set them down.

and put them down there.
and put them on the ground there.

where they set them down: The phrase where they set them down means that the twelve men put down the stones on the ground at the place where they camped.

4:8 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.

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.
