18:12b

went up past the northern slope of Jericho,

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לִ⁠פְאַ֥ת צָפ֖וֹנָ⁠ה

to_[the],side_of northward,of

Here, the word mouth has the sense of “end” or “edge,” perhaps because the mouth of an animal is typically at one end of it. Alternate translation: [on the northern end of their territory] or [on the northern edge of their territory]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

כֶּ֨תֶף יְרִיח֜וֹ מִ⁠צָּפ֗וֹן

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to/for=them the,border to_[the],side_of northward,of from/more_than the,Jordan and=he/it_would_go_up the,border to/towards slope_of Yərīḩō/(Jericho) from_[the],north and=he/it_would_go_up in,country westward, and,they_are extremities_of,its the_wilderness_of,towards house_of -aven )

The author is speaking of the mound on which Jericho was built as if it were a living thing that had a shoulder. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the northern slope of the Jericho mound]
