Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
יָדַ֔יִם
measures
The author is using the term hands to mean the sides or extent of the land, by association with the way that people’s hands are at their sides. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from one side to the other]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
נְתָנָ֥הּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּיֶדְכֶ֑ם
given,it ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,hands_of,your_all's
The men are using the past tense to describe something that they believe will happen in the future in order to show that they are confident the event will happen. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: [God will give it into your hand] or [God clearly intends to give it into your hand]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
אֵֽין שָׁ֣ם מַחְס֔וֹר כָּל דָּבָ֖ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּאָֽרֶץ
not there lack_of all/each/any/every thing which/who on_the=earth
The men are making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [there is abundant provision for human needs]
18:1-31 The migration of the Danites (cp. Josh 19:40-48) is the story of that tribe’s failure to obey God’s covenant, and it is indicative of Israel’s decline. What began as Micah’s private heresy (Judg 17:4-5) would become the apostasy of an entire tribe (18:30-31). What began as covenant failure (1:19-36) turned into social breakdown in the days of Jephthah and Samson (chs 11–16). In the end, law and order were replaced by banditry and pillaging (18:27-28).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
