SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:1–15 The Israelites conquered the towns of northern Canaan

King Jabin, the king of Hazor, brought together the kings of the towns in Northern Canaan to fight against Israel. With the help of Yahweh, Joshua and the Israelites fought and defeated all these towns and killed their kings and their people.

Here is another possible section heading:

Israel defeated the northern towns

11:11a

The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction.

The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword: The clause The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword indicates that Joshua and his army killed every person in the town of Hazor. This is a Hebrew idiom that was used in 10:32. It is recommended that you translate it the same way in both places.

Here is another way to translate this Hebrew idiom:

they put everyone there to death (GNT)

devoting them to destruction: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as devoting them to destruction indicates destroying people or things that were devoted to Yahweh and cannot be saved by any means. This is the same kind of destruction that Yahweh commanded Joshua to carry out at Jericho and Ai (6:24 and 8:8). You should translate this phrase in the same way that you translated it there.

11:11b

Nothing that breathed remained,

Nothing that breathed remained: The clause Nothing that breathed remained indicates that every person in the town was killed. This information is repeated to emphasize it. Joshua obeyed Yahweh’s command to kill all the Canaanites so that the Israelites could live in the land God had promised them.

11:11c

and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.

and Joshua burned down Hazor itself: The clause Joshua burned down Hazor itself indicates that Joshua had his soldiers burn the town of Hazor completely.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

הַ⁠נֶּ֨פֶשׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_struck_down DOM all/each/any/every the=living_creatures which/who [was]_in,it to_[the],mouth_of sword utterly_destroying not left all/each/any/every breathed and=DOM Ḩāʦōr burnt with,fire )

The author is using one part of a person, the soul, to mean the whole person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [person]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לְ⁠פִי־חֶ֨רֶב֙

to_[the],mouth_of sword

See how you translated the similar expression in [Joshua 6:21](../06/21.md). See the discussion of this expression in the Introduction to Joshua, and be sure that you have been translating it consistently throughout the book. Alternate translation: [to completely destroy everyone]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹ֥א נוֹתַ֖ר כָּל־נְשָׁמָ֑ה

not left (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_struck_down DOM all/each/any/every the=living_creatures which/who [was]_in,it to_[the],mouth_of sword utterly_destroying not left all/each/any/every breathed and=DOM Ḩāʦōr burnt with,fire )

See how you translated the similar expression in [Joshua 10:40](../10/40.md). You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [No person remained alive]
