See how you translated the similar expression in 8:1. Alternate translation: [I will enable you to conquer it]

This action was a literal sign to Joshua’s soldiers to attack Ai, as the next verse indicates, but it was probably also a symbolic indication that Ai was to be destroyed. You should retain this action in your translation. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate its meaning in footnote.
8:18-19 Israel succeeded in this second attack on Ai because this time God directed the battle.

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.
