TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:15 Providentially, the Ark had arrived in Beth-shemesh (6:13), which was a Levite city (Josh 21:13-16). The men of the tribe of Levi who lived there could safely move the Ark (see Num 4:15).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-versebridge

וְ⁠הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֞ם הוֹרִ֣ידוּ ׀ אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֗ה וְ⁠אֶת־הָ⁠אַרְגַּ֤ז אֲשֶׁר־אִתּ⁠וֹ֙ אֲשֶׁר־בּ֣⁠וֹ כְלֵֽי־זָהָ֔ב וַ⁠יָּשִׂ֖מוּ אֶל־הָ⁠אֶ֣בֶן הַ⁠גְּדוֹלָ֑ה

and,the,Levites took_down DOM ark_of YHWH and=DOM the,box which/who with=him/it which/who in/on/over=him/it objects_of gold and,set to/towards the,stone the,large

After making a summary statement in the last sentence of the previous verse, in this verse the author describes the same events in more detail in order to specify that the people of Beth Shemesh did not break up the cart with the Box of God still in it. In effect, he is describing one event before describing another event that preceded it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. You could do that by creating a verse bridge. The UST models one way to do that.

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יָּשִׂ֖מוּ אֶל־הָ⁠אֶ֣בֶן הַ⁠גְּדוֹלָ֑ה

and,set to/towards the,stone the,large

Setting the Box of Yahweh and the golden guilt offerings on this great stone, where they were presumably high above the people, was a symbolic action that showed honor to Yahweh. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [and they had set them on top of the great stone in order to lift them up high as a way of honoring Yahweh]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַֽ⁠יִּזְבְּח֧וּ זְבָחִ֛ים

and,made sacrifices

It might seem that this phrase contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [and offered sacrifices]
