Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

וְ⁠הָיָ֡ה כֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־יֵצֵא֩ מִ⁠דַּלְתֵ֨י בֵיתֵ֧⁠ךְ ׀ הַ⁠ח֛וּצָ⁠ה דָּמ֥⁠וֹ בְ⁠רֹאשׁ֖⁠וֹ וַ⁠אֲנַ֣חְנוּ נְקִיִּ֑ם וְ֠⁠כֹל אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִֽהְיֶ֤ה אִתָּ⁠ךְ֙ בַּ⁠בַּ֔יִת דָּמ֣⁠וֹ בְ⁠רֹאשֵׁ֔⁠נוּ אִם־יָ֖ד תִּֽהְיֶה־בּֽ⁠וֹ

and=it_was all which/who goes_out from,the_doors_of your_house_of,of to,the,outside blood_of,his [will,be]_of,on_his_own_head and,we innocent and=all/each/any/every which/who will_belong with,you in,house blood_of,his [will,be]_of,on_our_head if hand you(ms)_will_be in/on/over=him/it

The spies are saying what would happen in the case of two different possibilities. They are describing what second event would follow a first event in each case. If it would be helpful in your language, you could add a connecting word before the second event. Alternate translation: [Now suppose someone goes out from the doors of your house to the outside and is killed. Then his blood will be on his head, and we will be innocent. But suppose someone stays with you in the house. Then his blood will be on our heads if a hand is laid on him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מִ⁠דַּלְתֵ֨י בֵיתֵ֧⁠ךְ

from,the_doors_of your_house_of,of

The spies are using one part of Rahab’s house, its doors, to mean all it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from inside your house]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דָּמ֥⁠וֹ בְ⁠רֹאשׁ֖⁠וֹ & דָּמ֣⁠וֹ בְ⁠רֹאשֵׁ֔⁠נוּ

blood_of,his [will,be]_of,on_his_own_head & blood_of,his [will,be]_of,on_our_head

The spies are using the term blood by association to mean “death.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [his death will be on his head … his death will be on our head]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

דָּמ֥⁠וֹ בְ⁠רֹאשׁ֖⁠וֹ & דָּמ֣⁠וֹ בְ⁠רֹאשֵׁ֔⁠נוּ

blood_of,his [will,be]_of,on_his_own_head & blood_of,his [will,be]_of,on_our_head

The spies are using a common expression that means that someone was morally and legally responsible for something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he will be responsible for his own death … we will be responsible for his death]

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

בְ⁠רֹאשֵׁ֔⁠נוּ

[will,be]_of,on_our_head

Since the spies are referring to themselves, and there are two of them, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of head. Alternate translation: [on our heads]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יָ֖ד תִּֽהְיֶה־בּֽ⁠וֹ

hand you(ms)_will_be in/on/over=him/it

The spies are using the expression a hand shall be upon to mean that someone would be injured or harmed. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [anyone harms that person]
