Joshua is using the term border by association in both instances to mean territory enclosed within borders. The word stand has the sense of “remain.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “will remain in its territory ... will remain in their territory” or “will retain all of its territory ... will retain all of their territory”

As the General Introduction to Joshua discusses, here and throughout this chapter, the author describes the location of one place relative another from his own perspective and in the way that is characteristic of his culture. In your translation, express these relative locations in the way that your culture would describe them. Alternate translation: “in the south ... in the north” or “in the southern part of the land of Canaan ... in the northern part of the land of Canaan”
