The phrase mighty men of valor gives us further information about the 30,000 men. It is not making a distinction between them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the relationship between these phrases clearer. Alternate translation: “And Joshua chose 30, 000 men who were mighty men of valor”

8:3 set out to attack Ai: This first sentence provides a summary; details are filled in over the next several paragraphs.
• The Hebrew words translated 30,000 might mean 30 units (see study note on Exod 12:37) or 30 chieftains. As the battle developed, this group would wait in ambush until Joshua called them out (Josh 8:18-19).
