OET interlinear JOS 2:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וַ⁠יִּמַּ֣ס לְבָבֵ֔⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,we_heard and,it_melted heart_of,our and=not remained again/more courage in,anyone because,of,you(pl) that/for/because/then/when YHWH God_of,your(pl) he/it ʼElohīm in,heavens (from),above and,on the=earth/land (from),beneath )

Since Rahab is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of heart. Alternate translation: [and our hearts have melted]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּמַּ֣ס לְבָבֵ֔⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,we_heard and,it_melted heart_of,our and=not remained again/more courage in,anyone because,of,you(pl) that/for/because/then/when YHWH God_of,your(pl) he/it ʼElohīm in,heavens (from),above and,on the=earth/land (from),beneath )

See how you translated the similar expression in [Joshua 2:9](../02/09.md). (Your language may use a different part of the body than the heart to represent a person’s thoughts and emotions. If so, you can use that in your translation.) Alternate translation: [and in our hearts, we have become very afraid]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠לֹא־קָ֨מָה ע֥וֹד ר֛וּחַ בְּ⁠אִ֖ישׁ מִ⁠פְּנֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

and=not remained again/more courage (Some words not found in UHB: and,we_heard and,it_melted heart_of,our and=not remained again/more courage in,anyone because,of,you(pl) that/for/because/then/when YHWH God_of,your(pl) he/it ʼElohīm in,heavens (from),above and,on the=earth/land (from),beneath )

See how you translated the similar expression in [Joshua 1:5](../01/05.md). Alternate translation: [and the spirit in a man is no longer able to resist you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠לֹא־קָ֨מָה ע֥וֹד ר֛וּחַ בְּ⁠אִ֖ישׁ מִ⁠פְּנֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

and=not remained again/more courage (Some words not found in UHB: and,we_heard and,it_melted heart_of,our and=not remained again/more courage in,anyone because,of,you(pl) that/for/because/then/when YHWH God_of,your(pl) he/it ʼElohīm in,heavens (from),above and,on the=earth/land (from),beneath )

Rahab is using one part of a person, his spirit, to mean all of him in the act of resisting or not. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and no man is able to resist you any longer]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּ⁠אִ֖ישׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,we_heard and,it_melted heart_of,our and=not remained again/more courage in,anyone because,of,you(pl) that/for/because/then/when YHWH God_of,your(pl) he/it ʼElohīm in,heavens (from),above and,on the=earth/land (from),beneath )

Although the term man is masculine, Rahab is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [in a person]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠פְּנֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,we_heard and,it_melted heart_of,our and=not remained again/more courage in,anyone because,of,you(pl) that/for/because/then/when YHWH God_of,your(pl) he/it ʼElohīm in,heavens (from),above and,on the=earth/land (from),beneath )

Rahab is using a common expression of her culture, from your faces, which means “because of” or “on account of.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [because of you]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

בַּ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם מִ⁠מַּ֔עַל וְ⁠עַל־הָ⁠אָ֖רֶץ מִ⁠תָּֽחַת

(Some words not found in UHB: and,we_heard and,it_melted heart_of,our and=not remained again/more courage in,anyone because,of,you(pl) that/for/because/then/when YHWH God_of,your(pl) he/it ʼElohīm in,heavens (from),above and,on the=earth/land (from),beneath )

Rahab is using the two major components of creation to mean all of creation itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [over all of creation]
