OET (OET-RV) Then Yehoshua asked, “Yahweh, my master, why did you bring these people across the Yordan and then let us be defeated and killed by the Amorites? If only we’d been content and stayed on the other side of the river.

לָ֠מָה הֵעֲבַ֨רְתָּ הַעֲבִ֜יר אֶת־הָעָ֤ם הַזֶּה֙ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן לָתֵ֥ת אֹתָ֛נוּ בְּיַ֥ד הָאֱמֹרִ֖י לְהַאֲבִידֵ֑נוּ
to/for,why? brought across DOM the,people the=this DOM the,Jordan to,deliver DOM,us in/on/at/with,hand the=Emori to,destroy,us
Joshua was asking if this is the reason God had brought them across the Jordan. Alternate translation: “Did you do it in order to give us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּיַ֥ד הָאֱמֹרִ֖י
in/on/at/with,hand the=Emori
The hands of the Amorites represents their control and power. Giving the Israelites into their hands to destroy them represents allowing the Amorites to have control of the Israelites and destroy them. Alternate translation: “To allow the Amorites to destroy us?”
וְלוּ֙ הוֹאַ֣לְנוּ
and,if_only content
The words “If only” show that this is a wish for something that had not happened. Alternate translation: “I wish we had made a different decision”
7:7 Joshua expressed his anger toward God; this explains the sharp tone of God’s reply (7:10-15). Though the battle had been lost because of Achan’s sin, Joshua and Israel’s elders had neglected to seek God’s guidance (7:3).
• Joshua did not really believe that Israel should have stayed on the other side of the Jordan. Rather, he used hyperbole to show that he was at a loss over what to do next.
