OET (OET-LV) And_he_brought_near DOM the_family_of Yəhūdāh and_he_took DOM the_family_of the_Zerahite[s] and_he_brought_near DOM the_family_of the_Zerahite[s] to_men and_ Zaⱱdiy _he_was_taken_by_lot.

OET (OET-RV) Then each of the clans came forward and the Zerahite clan was singled out, and when their families came forwards, Zabdi’s household was singled out.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–26 Achan sinned and God punished him

Achan disobeyed God. He took some of the things from Jericho that God told them to destroy. Because of his sin, the Israelites lost the battle against the town of Ai. Yahweh showed the Israelites that Achan was the one who had sinned, and they punished Achan.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The defeat at Ai

Achan’s sin

Paragraph 7:16–18

Yahweh chose Achan as the man who was guilty of the sin.

7:17a

He had the clans of Judah come forward,

He had the clans of Judah come forward: The clause He had the clans of Judah come forward indicates that Joshua made each family stand in front of the Tent of Meeting one by one.

clans of Judah: Each “clan” in the tribe of Judah traced their ancestry back to one of the sons of Judah.

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

Then Joshua brought the clans of Judah to the Lord (CEV)

He then had the clans of Judah come forward (NJPS)

7:17b

and the clan of the Zerahites was selected.

and the clan of the Zerahites was selected: Zerah was one of the sons of Judah. The clan of Zerah included all the descendants of Zerah.

Zerahites: In Numbers 26:20 the man Zerah is shown as the head of one of the clans of the tribe of Judah.

Here are some other ways to translate Zerahites:

the Zerah clan (CEV)

the descendants of Zerah

the Zerah branch of the Judah tribe

was selected: The phrase that the BSB translates as was selected indicates that Yahweh chose the clan of Zerah. In some languages it may be necessary to translate this with an active verb. For example:

Yahweh chose the clan of Zerah

7:17c

He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward,

(NIV) he had the clan of the Zerahites come forward by families: The pronoun he refers to Joshua.

(NIV) had the clan of the Zerahites come forward: Joshua made the households in the clan of Zerah come and stand in front of the Tent of Meeting.

(NIV) by families: There is a textual issue in this verse that the BSB leaves untranslated.

  1. Some Hebrew manuscripts, and the Syriac translation and Latin Vulgate translation say family by family. For example:

    And he had the clan of the Zerahites come forward by families (NIV) (NIV, NRSV, NCV, NJPS, NLT, NJB, REB, GNT)

  2. The Hebrew Masoretic text says man by man. For example:

    And he brought near the clan of the Zerahites man by man (ESV) (ESV, RSV, GW, NASB, KJV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1). “Family by family” fits the context better because it agrees with verse 7:14c.

7:17d

and the family of Zabdi was selected.

and the family of Zabdi: Zabdi was the grandfather of Achan. He was mentioned in 7:1. Achan was a part of Zabdi’s family.

was selected: Yahweh chose Zabdi. This showed that someone in Zabdi’s family was guilty. The verb was selected is passive. It may be necessary in some languages to use an active verb. For example:

the Lord showed that Zabdi’s family was guilty (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

הַ⁠זַּרְחִ֑י & הַ⁠זַּרְחִי֙

of,the_Zerahite[s] & of,the_Zerahite[s]

The word Zerahite is the name of a clan made up of the descendants of the man named Zerah who was the great-grandfather of Achan mentioned in [7:1](../07/01.md). Express this relationship by descent in the terms that your culture would use. Alternate translation: [the Zerahites … the Zerahites] or [the descendants of Zerah … the descendants of Zerah]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

זַבְדִּֽי

Zaⱱdiy

The author is using the name Zabdi by association to mean his “house” or extended family, as [7:14](../07/14.md) indicates. Zabdi was the grandfather of Achan, and Achan would have been included in his extended family. Alternate translation: [the extended family of Zabdi]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּלְכֹּ֕ד אֵ֖ת מִשְׁפַּ֣חַת הַ⁠זַּרְחִ֑י & וַ⁠יִּלָּכֵ֖ד זַבְדִּֽי

and,he_took DOM clan_of of,the_Zerahite[s] & and,he_was_taken_by_lot Zaⱱdiy

See how you translated the similar passive expression in [7:16](../07/16.md).

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:1-26 Now that Jericho belonged to Israel, Joshua’s first military problem involved securing a foothold in the hill country. The conquest of Jericho inspired Israel’s confidence and consigned the people of Canaan to discouragement and despair. Yet everything hinged on Israel’s obedience to God. One man’s sin and its consequences demonstrate how serious was the command to destroy Jericho (see “Complete Dedication” Theme Note).

OET (OET-RV) Then each of the clans came forward and the Zerahite clan was singled out, and when their families came forwards, Zabdi’s household was singled out.

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.
