1.1 KiB
see, I will gather you to your ancestors. You will be gathered to your grave in peace
Both statements mean basically the same thing. They are polite ways of saying he will die. Alternate translation: "so I will allow you to die and be buried peacefully" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-euphemism)
You will be gathered to your grave
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "I will gather you to your grave" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
your eyes will not see
Here "eyes" represents the whole person. Also, the phrase "will not see" represents not experiencing something. Alternate translation: "you will not experience" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)
the disaster I will bring on this place
Yahweh causing terrible things to happen is spoken of as if disaster were an object that Yahweh would bring to a place. Alternate translation: "the terrible things I will cause to happen to this place" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
