1.3 KiB
Connecting Statement:
Yahweh gives Ezekiel a message about what will happen to Israel.
I will set my glory among the nations
Yahweh speaks of his glory as if he will place it in the middle of the nations where they can see it. AT: "I will make the nations see my glory" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
my judgment that I perform and my hand that I have set against them
Both of these phrases refer to the punishment that Yahweh will inflict upon Israel and are repeated for emphasis. They can be combined into a single phrase. AT: "the way that I will judge them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
my hand
Here the metonym "hand" refers to Yahweh's power that he uses to bring punishment. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
against them
"against Gog and his great army"
The house of Israel
The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 3:1. AT: "the Israelites" or "the Israelite people group" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
