The author is providing this background information to explain how Rahab had hidden the men in 2:4. Use a natural way in your language for introducing background information.

הַגָּ֑גָה
the,roof,to
The roof was flat and strong, so people could walk around on it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly that the roof was flat as modeled by the UST.

בְּפִשְׁתֵּ֣י הָעֵ֔ץ

The word flax refers to a plant that is grown for its fibers, which is used in making cloth. It has tall, slender stalks that can tied into bundles. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of plant, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “in the long stalks of a plant”
2:6 The inner fibers of flax were processed to make linen. The first step involved laying out the flax stems to dry on the flat rooftop.

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.
