מֵאִישׁ֙ וְעַד־אִשָּׁ֔ה מִנַּ֖עַר וְעַד־זָקֵ֑ן וְעַ֨ד שׁ֥וֹר וָשֶׂ֛ה וַחֲמ֖וֹר
from=man and=unto woman/wife from,young and=unto old and=unto ox and,sheep and,donkey
The author is giving examples of the different types and categories of living beings that the phrase all that was in the city refers to. The Israelite soldiers killed all the animals and all the humans in the city of Jericho. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “every human being, and every animal.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
מִנַּ֖עַר וְעַד־זָקֵ֑ן
from,young and=unto old
The author is using the adjectives young and old as nouns in order to describe groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with noun phrases. Alternate translation: “from young people and to old people”
