UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

שַׁל־נַֽעַלְ⁠ךָ֙ מֵ⁠עַ֣ל רַגְלֶ֔⁠ךָ כִּ֣י הַ⁠מָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתָּ֛ה עֹמֵ֥ד עָלָ֖י⁠ו קֹ֣דֶשׁ ה֑וּא

remove sandals_of,your from=under feet_of,your that/for/because/then/when the,place which/who you(ms) standing on/upon/above=him/it holy he/it

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because the place that you are standing on is holy, slip off your sandal from upon your foot]

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

שַׁל־נַֽעַלְ⁠ךָ֙ מֵ⁠עַ֣ל רַגְלֶ֔⁠ךָ

remove sandals_of,your from=under feet_of,your

Joshua removing his sandal was a symbolic action by which he showed great respect and reverence towards someone superior and acknowledged his willingness to obey him. If there is a gesture with similar meaning in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation. You could also explain the significance of the gesture; the UST models one way to do that.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

נַֽעַלְ⁠ךָ֙

sandals_of,your

The prince of Yahweh’s army is not referring to one particular sandal that Joshua was wearing. He means both of Joshua’s sandals. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [your sandals]
