Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הָעָם֩
the,people
As in 6:5, the phrase the people refers to the Israelite soldiers. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Israelite soldiers”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
לֹ֤א תָרִ֨יעוּ֙ וְלֹֽא־תַשְׁמִ֣יעוּ אֶת־קוֹלְכֶ֔ם וְלֹא־יֵצֵ֥א מִפִּיכֶ֖ם דָּבָ֑ר עַ֠ד י֣וֹם אָמְרִ֧י אֲלֵיכֶ֛ם
not shout and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM the,people commanded Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) to=say not shout and=not heard DOM voice,your_all's and=not go_out of,mouth,your_all's word until day tell,I to,you_all shout and,shout )
The phrases You shall not shout, you shall not make your voice heard, and a word shall not go out from your mouth mean very similar things. Joshua says the same thing three times, in slightly different ways, to emphasize to the Israelite soldiers and priests that they must remain completely silent until he gives them the command, Shout! If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine the phrases into one and show the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “ “You must remain completely silent” or “You must remain absolutely quiet”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
י֣וֹם
day
Joshua is using the term day to refer to a specific time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the time when”
