Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
עָבְר֕וּ
went_forward
See how you translated passed over in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [went forward] or [advanced]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה
to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH
As the last sentence in this verse makes clear, the author is using the name Yahweh by association to mean the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh, since it represents Yahweh’s presence with the people of Israel. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in front of the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַֽאֲרוֹן֙ בְּרִ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה הֹלֵ֖ךְ אַחֲרֵיהֶֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was when,spoken Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) to/towards the,people and=seven the,priests carrying seven trumpets_of the,rams'_horns to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH went_forward and,blew in/on/at/with,trumpets and,ark_of covenant_of YHWH followed behind,them )
The author does not mean that the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh was going by itself. Priests were carrying it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [And the priests carrying the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh went behind them]
6:6-9 The Ark, the priests blowing the horns, and the military honor guard all symbolized God’s presence and his leadership of the siege.

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.
