The author is providing this background information to explain how Rahab had hidden the men, as described in 2:4. Use a natural way in your language for introducing background information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠גָּ֑גָ⁠ה

The roof was flat and strong, so people could walk around on it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly that the roof was flat. The UST models one way to do this.

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

(Some words not found in UHB: and=she brought_~_up,them the,roof,to and,hidden,them in/on/at/with,flax the=tree the,laid_out to/for=her/it on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,roof )

The word flax refers to a plant that is grown for its fibers, which is used in making cloth. It has tall, slender stalks that can tied into bundles. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of plant, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “in the long stalks of a plant”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הָ⁠עֲרֻכ֥וֹת לָ֖⁠הּ

the,laid_out to/for=her/it

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “that she had arranged”
