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”

I will give all of them slain to the face of Israel
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) not afraid from=their=face/front that/for/because/then/when tomorrow at_the,time the,this I hand_over DOM all,them slain to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Yisrael DOM horses,their hamstring and=DOM chariots,their burn in/on/at/with,fire )
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”

You will hamstring their horses
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) not afraid from=their=face/front that/for/because/then/when tomorrow at_the,time the,this I hand_over DOM all,them slain to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Yisrael DOM horses,their hamstring and=DOM chariots,their burn in/on/at/with,fire )
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.
