OET (OET-RV) Then all of Israel and their elders and officials and judges were standing some on each side of the box containing Yahweh’s agreement, facing the priests and the Levites who carried the box. Any resident foreigners were also there. Half of the people stood on the Mt. Gerazim side, and half on the Mt. Eybal side of the valley, just like the way that Yahweh’s servant Mosheh had originally commanded for blessing the people.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מִזֶּ֣ה ׀ וּמִזֶּ֣ה ׀ לָאָר֡וֹן
on,one_side and,on,other_side of_the,ark
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the author is describing the location of one place relative to another in the way that is characteristic of his culture. Alternate translation: “on both sides of the Box” or “on either side of the Box”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
חֶצְיוֹ֙ & וְהַֽחֶצְי֖וֹ
half,them & and,the,half,them
The pronoun him in both instances refers to Israel, which means all of the Israelites. It may be more natural in your language to use plural pronouns. Alternate translation: “half of them … and half of them”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
בָּרִאשֹׁנָֽה
in/on/at/with,first
The author is using the adjective first as a noun. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “when he first delivered the law”
8:33 The town of Shechem, located between Mount Gerizim to the south and Mount Ebal to the north, guarded the pass between the two mountains. Although the covenant renewal ceremony took place at Shechem, neither Joshua nor Judges records that Israel conquered the town.
• With every Israelite involved and the Ark positioned in the valley between the two groups, this ceremony was a promise to keep the covenant God had made with Israel at Sinai.

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.
