Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

Here, face stands for the presence of a person, so here it means “when faced with them.” Alternate translation: “against them”

The implication is that as a result, no one helped anyone who attacked the Jews. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly.
