וְהַמּוֹעֵ֗ד הָיָ֛ה לְאִ֥ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עִם הָאֹרֵ֑ב
and,the,agreement it_became for,men Yisrael with the,ambush
The author is introducing background information that will help readers understand in more detail what happen in this battle. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
וְהַמּוֹעֵ֗ד הָיָ֛ה לְאִ֥ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עִם־הָאֹרֵ֑ב הֶ֕רֶב לְהַעֲלוֹתָ֛ם מַשְׂאַ֥ת הֶעָשָׁ֖ן מִן־הָעִֽיר
and,the,agreement it_became for,men Yisrael with the,ambush great that,sent_up,they cloud the,smoke from/more_than the=city
The author is presenting as a direct quotation what the main body of the army told the ambush to do as a sign. It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [Now the men of Israel and the ambush had agreed on a sign: the ambush would send up a great column of smoke from the city]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
הֶ֕רֶב לְהַעֲלוֹתָ֛ם מַשְׂאַ֥ת הֶעָשָׁ֖ן מִן־הָעִֽיר
great that,sent_up,they cloud the,smoke from/more_than the=city
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two expressions. The words make great tell in what way they should send up the column of smoke. If you combine these expressions, you could present all of this as a direct quotation. Alternate translation: [“Send up a great column of smoke from the city.”]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
הֶ֕רֶב לְהַעֲלוֹתָ֛ם מַשְׂאַ֥ת הֶעָשָׁ֖ן מִן־הָעִֽיר
great that,sent_up,they cloud the,smoke from/more_than the=city
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [Signal to us that you have captured the city by sending up a great column of smoke from it]
20:29-44 The third day’s battle followed the same strategies of deception and ambush that were used to conquer Ai (Josh 8:1-29).
OET (OET-LV) And_the_agreement [which]_it_belonged for_men of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) with the_ambush [was]_do_much that_sent_up_they the_rising the_smoke from the_city.
OET (OET-RV) Then they started a fire as the prearranged signal was to be the rising column of smoke up out of the city.
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.
