UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וִֽ⁠ירִיחוֹ֙ סֹגֶ֣רֶת וּ⁠מְסֻגֶּ֔רֶת מִ⁠פְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֵ֥ין יוֹצֵ֖א וְ⁠אֵ֥ין בָּֽא

and,Jericho shut_up (Some words not found in UHB: and,Jericho shut_up and,being_shut from=face/in_front_of sons_of Yisrael not went_out and,no he/it_came )

The author is providing background information that will help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וִֽ⁠ירִיחוֹ֙ סֹגֶ֣רֶת וּ⁠מְסֻגֶּ֔רֶת מִ⁠פְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֵ֥ין יוֹצֵ֖א וְ⁠אֵ֥ין בָּֽא

and,Jericho shut_up and,being_shut from=face/in_front_of sons_of Yisrael not went_out and,no he/it_came

The phrases Now Jericho was shutting and was being shut up and There was no going out and there was no coming in mean basically the same thing. The author is using them together for emphasis. See the further discussion in the General Notes to this chapter. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: “The rulers of Jericho were so afraid of the Israelites that they had shut the city gates so that no one could enter, and they had shut up the people inside so that no one could leave”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠מְסֻגֶּ֔רֶת

and,being_shut

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “And the rulers had also shut up the people inside”
