Yahweh continues telling Pharaoh what he will do to Egypt.

## Then when I put out your lamp ##

"when I snuff out your flame." Yahweh  compares the way he will destroy Pharaoh to the way he would put out the flame of a lamp. AT: "When I destroy you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## I will cover the heavens ##

Yahweh will cover the sky so that people on earth cannot see the light of the stars, sun and moon.

## darken its stars ##

"I will make the stars dark." They will have no light.

## I will put darkness over your land ##

"I will make it dark in your land"

## This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration ##

See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 5:11](../05/11.md).
