By man, Moses means anyone from the enemy people groups. If it would be helpful for your readers, you could include this information in your translation. Alternate translation: [army of these peoples]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠פְנֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

fear_of,you(pl) and,fear_of,you(pl) he/it_gave YHWH God_of,your(pl)

Here Moses speaks of emotions as if they were objects one could physically put on the land. He means that God will cause their enemies to feel fear and terror. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh your God will cause your enemies to feel the fear of you and the terror of you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

פַּחְדְּ⁠כֶ֨ם וּ⁠מֽוֹרַאֲ⁠כֶ֜ם יִתֵּ֣ן ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵי⁠כֶ֗ם עַל־פְּנֵ֤י כָל־הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ֙

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of fear and terror, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [Yahweh your God will cause you to frighten and terrify all the land]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

פַּחְדְּ⁠כֶ֨ם וּ⁠מֽוֹרַאֲ⁠כֶ֜ם

fear_of,you(pl) and,fear_of,you(pl)

The terms fear and terror mean similar things. Moses is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [the extremely great fear of you]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

פַּחְדְּ⁠כֶ֨ם וּ⁠מֽוֹרַאֲ⁠כֶ֜ם

fear_of,you(pl) and,fear_of,you(pl)

Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe how the Israelites will cause fear and terror. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a comparable expression that describes cause and effect. Alternate translation: [the fear caused by you and the terror caused by you]
