6:9 OSHB variant note: תקעו: (x-qere) ’תֹּקְעֵ֖י’: lemma_8628 n_1.0 morph_HVqrmpc id_068HL תֹּקְעֵ֖י

OET (OET-RV) The soldiers walked ahead of the priests blowing the horns, with the rear guard walking behind the box. So they were walking and blowing the horns,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:13–6:27 Israel conquered Jericho by God’s power

The Israelites followed God’s instructions and marched around the wall of Jericho town. On the seventh day the wall of the town collapsed and they conquered the town. They killed everybody in it except for Rahab and her family.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The wall of Jericho fell

The conquering of Jericho

6:9a

While the horns continued to sound,

While the horns continued to sound: This indicates that the priests blew the trumpets continually.

6:9b

the armed troops marched ahead of the priests who blew the horns,

the armed troops: The phrase the armed troops refers to the group of soldiers mentioned in verse 6:7c.

marched ahead of the priests: These soldiers walked ahead of the priests. The priests walked behind the soldiers and blew the trumpets.

6:9c

and the rear guard followed the ark.

and the rear guard: There was also a group of soldiers who walked behind the ark of Yahweh. This is the first time the rear guard has been mentioned. This is a characteristic of Hebrew narrative style, which adds new information bit by bit as the story progresses. If this method of adding new information is not natural in your language, it may be better to combine verses 8 and 9 and add the information in logical order, as the GNT does. See the General Comment on 6:8–9.

followed the ark: The soldiers walked behind the priests who carried the ark. There is implied information here. The Hebrew text does not mention that there were priests who carried the ark. It may be helpful to make this information explicit in some languages. For example:

and the rear guard came after the priests who were carrying the ark

General Comment on 6:8–9

It may be more natural in some languages to rearrange the information in verses 8–9 and mention the groups of people who are walking in their order. In this case, verses 8–9 may be combined, as GNT as done:

8aSo, just as Joshua had ordered, 9b,8b,8can advance guard started out ahead of the priests who were blowing trumpets; 8dbehind these came the priests who were carrying the Covenant Box, 9cfollowed by a rear guard. 9aAll this time the trumpets were sounding. (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַחֲרֵ֣י הָ⁠אָר֔וֹן

after the,ark

Here again, it is implied that priests were carrying the Box. Alternate translation: [behind the Box, which priests were carrying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הָל֖וֹךְ וְ⁠תָק֥וֹעַ בַּ⁠שּׁוֹפָרֽוֹת

continually and,giving_blasts on,trumpets

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and behind the priests who were walking and blowing on the shofars]
