Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

the LORD gave them rest on every side: The clause the LORD gave them rest on every side indicates that Yahweh caused the Israelites to have peace throughout their land. The phrase on every side can also be translated “all around them.”

just as He had sworn to their fathers: The clause He had sworn to their fathers indicates that Yahweh had made this promise to the ancestors of the Israelites. The promise to give rest to their ancestors was given in Deuteronomy 12:10. It was repeated in Joshua 1:13.
