and,commanded DOM,you_all in/on/at/with,time the=that to=say

Here, the word saying introduces direct speech. Consider natural ways of doing that in your own language. Alternate translation: “And I commanded you at that time” or “And at that time I commanded you”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אֶתְ⁠כֶ֔ם & אֱלֹהֵי⁠כֶ֗ם & לָ⁠כֶ֜ם & אֲחֵי⁠כֶ֥ם

DOM,you_all & God,your_all's & to/for=you_all & brothers,your_all's

The pronouns you and your refer to the people of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the names of the tribes here. Alternate translation: “you three tribes … your God … to you tribesmen … the other tribesmen”
