OET (OET-RV) Find out whether the land is good or bad, what cities they live in, and how fortified they are.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּמָ֣ה הָאָ֗רֶץ
and,what? the=earth/land
By what is the land, Moses means what the land looks like and how people live in it. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and what are the features of the land]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
הוּא֙ יֹשֵׁ֣ב & הוּא֙ יוֹשֵׁ֣ב
he/it was_sitting & he/it live
The pronoun it refers to the people group who are living in the land that Moses told the men to explore. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [those people are dwelling … those people are dwelling]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הֲטוֹבָ֥ה הִ֖וא אִם־רָעָ֑ה
?,good who/which if bad
The implication is that the land could be good or bad for the people to live in. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [whether it is good to live in or bad to live in]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הַבְּמַֽחֲנִ֖ים
?,in,camps
Here, Moses is speaking of unprotected settlements where people live as if they were camps, which were temporary settlements made of tents. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [whether in unfortified towns]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
