What does Joshua 2:9 mean?

She told them, 'I know the Lord has given you this land. Everyone here is terrified of you. We’ve all heard what’s coming, and our courage is gone.' Joshua 2:9 - Modern Text Bible

(Rahab openly admits her people are scared because they believe Israel’s God is giving them the land. She’s honest about the fear spreading through Jericho.)
