Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּמַּ֣ס לְבָבֵ֔נוּ וְלֹא־קָ֨מָה ע֥וֹד ר֛וּחַ בְּאִ֖ישׁ מִפְּנֵיכֶ֑ם
and,melted hearts,our and=not remained again/more courage in/on/at/with,any_man because_of,presence,you_all
The phrases our hearts have melted and the spirit in a man no longer stands from your face are both idioms that mean that the people who lived in Canaan were very afraid of the Israelites. If your readers would not understand this, you could use equivalent idioms or use plain language. Alternate translation: “and we are afraid and the people in the land are afraid of your presence”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַיִּמַּ֣ס לְבָבֵ֔נוּ וְלֹא־קָ֨מָה ע֥וֹד ר֛וּחַ בְּאִ֖ישׁ מִפְּנֵיכֶ֑ם
and,melted hearts,our and=not remained again/more courage in/on/at/with,any_man because_of,presence,you_all
The phrases our hearts have melted and the spirit in a man no longer stands from your face mean basically the same thing. Rahab says the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, for emphasis. If saying the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you can combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “and we have become very afraid of you” or “and we have become very afraid of your presence”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
בְּאִ֖ישׁ
in/on/at/with,any_man
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”
2:11 Although the people of Canaan incurred God’s judgment, Rahab’s declaration of faith (proven genuine by her aid to the spies) brought her into the people of God (Heb 11:31).
