UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

הִ֣יא שָׁמְעָ֗ה

she/it heard

Joshua is speaking of the stone as if it were a living thing that had heard what the people promised. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for it was in this place, where this stone is, where we heard”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

While Joshua says that it was Yahweh who spoke these words, he means implicitly that he spoke them himself on behalf of Yahweh. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “all of the words that I have spoken to you on behalf of Yahweh”
