# It happened This phrase is used here to reference a significant and meaningful time of the day in the story. If your language has a way for doing this, you could consider using it here. # Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel Here "Israel" is referring to Jacob. God changed Jacob's name to Israel (Genesis 32:28), and God named the nation of Jacob's descendants "Israel." # let it be known this day This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "make these people know today" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
