316 B

to cut off both man and beast from her

Yahweh speaks of killing people and animals as if it were cutting them off, like a person would cut a branch from a tree. The word "her" refers to Jerusalem. Alternate translation: "to kill both man and beast in Jerusalem" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
