Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
רְאֵה֙
see
Yahweh is speaking as if he wants Joshua to See or look at something. He is actually using the term to focus Joshua’s attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “Pay attention”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
נָתַ֣תִּי
I_give
Yahweh is using the past tense in order to refer to something that he will do in the future. He is doing this to show that the event will certainly happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: “I am about to give” or “I will certainly give”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
נָתַ֣תִּי בְיָֽדְךָ֔ אֶת־יְרִיח֖וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) see I_give in/on/at/with,hand,your DOM Yərīḩō/(Jericho) and=DOM king,its soldiers the,army )
Here, hand represents by association the control or power that a person would have over something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have delivered Jericho to your control” or “I have allowed you to conquer Jericho”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
גִּבּוֹרֵ֖י הֶחָֽיִל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) see I_give in/on/at/with,hand,your DOM Yərīḩō/(Jericho) and=DOM king,its soldiers the,army )
Yahweh is leaving out a word that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If your readers might misunderstand this, you could supply the word from the context. Alternate translation: “and the mighty men of valor” or “along with the mighty men of valor”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
גִּבּוֹרֵ֖י הֶחָֽיִל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) see I_give in/on/at/with,hand,your DOM Yərīḩō/(Jericho) and=DOM king,its soldiers the,army )
See how you translated the phrase mighty men of valor in 1:14. Alternate translation: “the valiant warriors”
6:2 God’s reassuring words, “I have given you Jericho,” must have lifted Joshua’s spirits. All Joshua had to do was obey God, and he had a lifetime of practice at that.

OET (OET-RV) Then Yahweh told Yehoshua, “Listen, I’ve given you victory over Yericho and its king, and their mighty army warriors.
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.
