וְ⁠רַגְלֵ֤י הַ⁠כֹּֽהֲנִים֙ נֹשְׂאֵ֣י הָֽ⁠אָר֔וֹן נִטְבְּל֖וּ בִּ⁠קְצֵ֣ה הַ⁠מָּ֑יִם

and,feet the,priests carrying the,ark dipped in/on/at/with,edge the=waters

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “then the priests, the lifters of the Box, dipped their feet into the edge of the water”

Note 2 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠הַ⁠יַּרְדֵּ֗ן מָלֵא֙ עַל־ כָּל־ גְּדוֹתָ֔י⁠ו כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י קָצִֽיר

and,the,Jordan he_is_full on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every banks,its all days_of harvest

The author is providing background information to help readers appreciate how great a miracle Yahweh did on this occasion. The implication is that the Israelites crossed the Jordan River during the days of the harvest, so Yahweh stopped its waters even when they were overflowing its banks. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י קָצִֽיר

all days_of harvest

The author is using the term days to refer to a specific time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “during harvest time”
