and=he/it_was the,gate to,close
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action you can indicate that “men” did it. Alternate translation: “And men shut the gate”
תַשִּׂיגֽוּם
overtake,them
The word the ULT translates as you may overtake them could refer to an event that is: (1) a possibility. Alternate translation: “perhaps you can overtake them” (2) in the future. Alternate translation: “you will overtake them”
2:1-24 Like any good military commander, Joshua sent out spies or scouts to get information about his objective.

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.
