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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:1–33: Israel renewed their covenant with Yahweh

In this section Joshua called the people of Israel together to affirm that they would worship and obey only Yahweh. He warned them that Yahweh would bring disaster on them if they worshiped other gods. Then Joshua died and was buried.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Renewing the covenant at Shechem

The Israelites promise to worship only Yahweh

24:6a

When I brought your fathers out of Egypt

When I brought your^(plur) ancestors out of the land of Egypt
After I led your ancestors out from the land of Egypt

When I brought your fathers out of Egypt: The information in this part of the verse is the same as the information in 24:5. The phrase your fathers refers to the ancestors of the Israelites to whom Joshua was speaking. It may be more natural to include the information out of Egypt in verse 5c and leave that information implicit here.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

When I brought your forefathers out of Egypt

When I led your ancestors out

24:6b

and you reached the Red Sea,

you reached the Red Sea.
then you arrived at the Red Sea.

and you reached the Red Sea: In verses 6 and 7 Joshua sometimes used the term “your fathers” and sometimes used the pronoun you, speaking to the Israelites. In some languages it may not be natural to alternate in this way. In that case, you may choose to refer only to the Israelite ancestors, using the pronoun “they.” For example:

I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, and the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and cavalry. But when your ancestors got to the Red Sea they cried out to me for help, and I put darkness between them and the Egyptians. I made the sea come rolling over the Egyptians and drown them. You know what I did to Egypt. (GNT)

the Red Sea: In the Hebrew this was more literally “the sea.” It may be more natural in your language to identify it here as the Red Sea as the BSB did.

Here is another way to translate this part of the verse:

you arrived at the Red Sea

you came to the sea. (RSV)

24:6c

the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea.

The Egyptians pursued your^(plur) ancestors as far as the Red Sea. Their men on chariots and their men on horses pursued you.
The Egyptian army chased after your ancestors with their horse-drawn war carts and men who rode horses. They chased you up to the Red Sea.

the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea: The term chariots refers to small horse-drawn carts with two wheels. Soldiers of ancient times rode in these carts to go to war. The term horsemen refers to soldiers who were riding on horses.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

The Egyptians pursued your ancestors to the Red Sea with men driving in chariots and men riding on horses

The Egyptian army chased after your ancestors with their war carts and horse riders up to the Red Sea.
