Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְעַתָּ֗ה
and=now
See how you translated the same expression in 1:2. Alternate translation: “So here is what I want you to do:”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
עָשִׂ֥יתִי עִמָּכֶ֖ם חָ֑סֶד וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֨ם גַּם־אַתֶּ֜ם עִם־בֵּ֤ית אָבִי֙ חֶ֔סֶד
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now swear now to=me in/on/at/with,LORD that/for/because/then/when dealt to,you_all kindly and,deal also/yet you_all with house_of father's,my kindly and,give to=me sign/signal/evidence sure )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of kindness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I am acting kindly toward you, swear to me that you yourselves will also act kindly toward the house of my father”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בֵּ֤ית אָבִי֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now swear now to=me in/on/at/with,LORD that/for/because/then/when dealt to,you_all kindly and,deal also/yet you_all with house_of father's,my kindly and,give to=me sign/signal/evidence sure )
Rahab is not using the expression the house of my father to refer to the building in which her father lives. As the next verse indicates, the expression means her extended family, which included her parents, her siblings, and their spouses and children. Alternate translation: “the household of my father” or “my extended family”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
א֥וֹת אֱמֶֽת
sign/signal/evidence sure
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. (This sign turns out to be the scarlet cord that the spies give Rahab in 2:18.) Alternate translation: “a sign that you will truly do what you promise”
2:1-24 Like any good military commander, Joshua sent out spies or scouts to get information about his objective.
• Because Israel planned to approach Canaan from the east, they could not bypass Jericho.
OET (OET-LV) And_now swear please to_me in/on/at/with_LORD if/because I_have_done to_you_all loyalty and_deal also you_all with the_household father’s_my loyalty and_give to_me a_sign of_faithfulness.

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.
