Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אֶת־בְּנֵי⁠כֶ֣ם

DOM DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,know DOM children,your_all's to=say in/on/at/with,dry_ground crossed Yisrael DOM the,Jordan the,this )

Although the term sons is masculine, Joshua is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both male and female descendants. Alternate translation: “your children”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠הוֹדַעְתֶּ֖ם אֶת־בְּנֵי⁠כֶ֣ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,know DOM children,your_all's to=say in/on/at/with,dry_ground crossed Yisrael DOM the,Jordan the,this )

Joshua is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “then you shall cause your sons to know the meaning of these stones” or “then you shall cause your sons to know why these stones are here”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וְ⁠הוֹדַעְתֶּ֖ם אֶת־בְּנֵי⁠כֶ֣ם לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר בַּ⁠יַּבָּשָׁה֙ עָבַ֣ר יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶת־הַ⁠יַּרְדֵּ֖ן הַ⁠זֶּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,know DOM children,your_all's to=say in/on/at/with,dry_ground crossed Yisrael DOM the,Jordan the,this )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “telling them that Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry ground”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בַּ⁠יַּבָּשָׁה֙ עָבַ֣ר יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶת־ הַ⁠יַּרְדֵּ֖ן הַ⁠זֶּֽה

in/on/at/with,dry_ground crossed Yisrael DOM the,Jordan the,this

The parents would be leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “These stones are here so that all future generations will remember that Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry ground”
