UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וַ⁠יִּמַּ֣ס לְבָבֵ֔⁠נוּ

and,melted hearts,our

Since Rahab is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of heart. Alternate translation: “and our hearts have melted”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּמַּ֣ס לְבָבֵ֔⁠נוּ

and,melted hearts,our

See how you translated the similar expression in 2:9. (Your language may use a different part of the body than the heart to represent a person’s thoughts and emotions. If so, you can use that in your translation.) Alternate translation: “and in our hearts, we have become very afraid”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠לֹא־ קָ֨מָה ע֥וֹד ר֛וּחַ בְּ⁠אִ֖ישׁ מִ⁠פְּנֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

and=not remained again/more courage in/on/at/with,any_man because_of,presence,you_all

See how you translated the similar expression in 1:5. Alternate translation: “and the spirit in a man is no longer able to resist you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠לֹא־ קָ֨מָה ע֥וֹד ר֛וּחַ בְּ⁠אִ֖ישׁ מִ⁠פְּנֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

and=not remained again/more courage in/on/at/with,any_man because_of,presence,you_all

Rahab is using one part of a person, his spirit, to mean all of him in the act of resisting or not. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and no man is able to resist you any longer”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּ⁠אִ֖ישׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,heard and,melted hearts,our and=not remained again/more courage in/on/at/with,any_man because_of,presence,you_all that/for/because/then/when YHWH God,your_all's he/it ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,heaven at,above and,on the=earth/land at,below )

Although the term man is masculine, Rahab is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “in a person”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

בַּ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם מִ⁠מַּ֔עַל וְ⁠עַל־ הָ⁠אָ֖רֶץ מִ⁠תָּֽחַת

in/on/at/with,heaven at,above and,on the=earth/land at,below

Rahab is using the two major components of creation to mean all of creation itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “over all of creation”
