Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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 7:1–26 Achan sinned and God punished him

Achan disobeyed God. He took some of the things from Jericho that God told them to destroy. Because of his sin, the Israelites lost the battle against the town of Ai. Yahweh showed the Israelites that Achan was the one who had sinned, and they punished Achan.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The defeat at Ai

Achan’s sin

Paragraph 7:22–26

Joshua and the Israelites stoned and burned Achan and his family.

7:23a

They took the things from inside the tent,

The Hebrew word that the BSB leaves untranslated but some English versions translate as “and” indicates the next event in the storyline. Translate it in a way that is natural in your language.

They: The word They here refers to the men whom Joshua sent to search for the stolen things.

the things: The phrase the things refers to the three stolen things.

7:23b

brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites,

The Hebrew word that the BSB leaves untranslated but some English versions translate as “and” indicates the next event in the storyline. Translate it in a way that is natural in your language.

brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites: The pronoun them here refers to the stolen things which the messengers found buried in the tent. The men who searched Achan’s tent brought the stolen things to Joshua and the people.

7:23c

and spread them out before the LORD.

and: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as and indicates the next event in the storyline.

spread them out: The men spread out the stolen things on the ground before Joshua, so that everyone could see them.

before the LORD: The phrase before the LORD means “in the presence of Yahweh.” The presence of Yahweh is represented by the ark of the covenant, which was in the Tent of Meeting. The men spread out the stolen things in front of the Tent of Meeting.

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

spread them out on the ground before the Lord (NCV)

they laid them on the ground in the presence of the Lord (NLT)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

This could mean: (1) “where Yahweh could see them.” The idea is not that Yahweh did not know before where they were; he told Joshua in [7:11](../07/11.md) that an Israelite had stolen some of the devoted things and hidden them. Rather, the idea is that this was public evidence that the Israelites had found the wrongdoer and would punish him as Yahweh had told them to. Alternate translation: [where Yahweh could see them] (2) “in front of the tent of meeting.” The phrase could be a description of where the Israelites poured … out the silver coins, coat, and gold wedge. The author would be using the name Yahweh by association to mean the place where his presence was. But this would also indicate that these things were serving as conclusive evidence against Achan. Alternate translation: [in front of the tent of meeting]
