SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:30–35 Joshua read the law of Moses to the Israelites.

In this section the people of Israel built an altar to Yahweh and made sacrifices to him. Joshua had them write the law of Moses on stone tablets. Then all the people assembled at Mount Ebal and Mount Gerazim while Joshua read the law aloud to them. He read all of its blessings and its curses.

Before they crossed the Jordan River, Moses foretold this event. He gave them detailed instructions for how they should do this in Deuteronomy 27:1–13. Now that the Israelites were well established in the land of Canaan they followed the instructions of Moses.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Reading the law at Mount Ebal and Mount Gerazim

Joshua reads the blessings and the curses to the people

8:35a

There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded

There was not one of the words of Moses
Joshua read every one of Moses’ commandments

There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded: The phrase not a word of all that Moses had commanded emphasizes again that Joshua read all Moses’ teaching for the Israelites. This information is given again in this verse to emphasize how important the reading of the law was.

8:35b

that Joshua failed to read before the whole assembly of Israel,

which Joshua did not read to all the people of Israel.
while the entire population of the Israelites listened.

that Joshua failed to read before the whole assembly of Israel: In the previous verse, the information that Joshua read the entire law is stated in a positive manner. Now it is restated using a double negative for extra emphasis. In some languages a double negative may convey a wrong meaning. Use a natural means to emphasize that Joshua read the entire law to the Israelites. For example, the GNT states 8:35a-b in a positive way:

Every one of the commandments of Moses was read by Joshua to the whole gathering (GNT)

before the whole assembly of Israel: The phrase before the whole assembly of Israel indicates that Joshua read Moses’ teachings while all the Israelites stood and listened.

8:35c

including the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who lived among them.

All the people listened, including the women and the children and the foreigners who lived with them.
This included the women and children, as well as the foreigners living among them.

including the women, the little ones: The phrase including the women, the little ones indicates that women and children were present and listened while Joshua read the law. Women and children were not present at every gathering. The author includes this information to show that the entire population of Israel listened while Joshua read aloud the law.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

including the women and the children

and the foreigners who lived among them: The foreigners were foreigners who lived with the Israelites. They were not Israelites by birth.8:35 Howard, p. 216–217.

General Comment on verse 8:35

It may be more natural in some languages to reorder the parts of this verse so that 8:35c is first, as in the NCV:

^35bAll the Israelites were gathered together--^35cmen, women and children, along with the non-Israelites who lived among them. ^35aJoshua read every command that Moses had given. (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

לֹֽא־הָיָ֣ה דָבָ֔ר מִ⁠כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֣ה מֹשֶׁ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹֽא־קָרָ֜א יְהוֹשֻׁ֗עַ

not it_became message from=all which/who commanded Mosheh which/who not he/it_called Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative expression. Alternate translation: [Joshua read every word that Moses had commanded]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הַ⁠נָּשִׁ֣ים וְ⁠הַ⁠טַּ֔ף וְ⁠הַ⁠גֵּ֖ר

and,the,women and,the_little,one[s] and,the,sojourner[s]

The author is making clear that on this occasion the assembly of Israel did not consist only of male representatives of tribes or clans or extended families, but that it also included women and children and sojourners. If it would be clearer in your language, you could indicate this explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: [including all of the women and children and all of the sojourners]
