Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
מִפְּנֵיהֶם֒
from=their=face/front
The author is using one part of people, their faces, to mean entire people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “of them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אָנֹכִ֞י נֹתֵ֧ן אֶת־כֻּלָּ֛ם חֲלָלִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל
I hand_over DOM all_of,them slain to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Yisrael
See how you translated the similar expression in 10:12. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will enable you to slay all of them”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
אֶת־סוּסֵיהֶ֣ם תְּעַקֵּ֔ר
DOM DOM horses_of,their hamstring
A hamstring is a tendon behind the knee that enables a person or animal to walk and run. To hamstring a horse means to cut this tendon to disable the horse permanently. If your readers would not be familiar with what this means, in your translation you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “You will disable their horses permanently”
11:6 God again urged Joshua not to be afraid, promising Israel the victory, even against horses and chariots.
• cripple their horses and burn their chariots: God wanted Israel to rely on him rather than weaponry and equipment (cp. Deut 17:16; Isa 31:1).

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.
