and=he/it_was (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was the,gate to,close in/on/at/with,dark and,the,men went_out not I_know where went the,men pursue quickly after,them that/for/because/then/when overtake,them )
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”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
רִדְפ֥וּ מַהֵ֛ר אַחֲרֵיהֶ֖ם כִּ֥י תַשִּׂיגֽוּם
pursue quickly after,them that/for/because/then/when overtake,them
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Since you might still overtake them, pursue quickly after them”
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-RV) But as the city gate was about to shut last night, the men went out. I don’t know to where they went—if you all hurry, you might be able to catch them.”
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.
