# General Information:
|
|
|
|
These are Yahweh's words about Egypt.
|
|
|
|
# Then they
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) "Then people" or 2) "Then the Egyptians."

# they will know that I am Yahweh
|
|
|
|
Yahweh is implying that they will know that he is the one true God who has supreme authority and power. See how you translated as similar phrase in [Ezekiel 6:7](../06/07.md). Alternate translation: "they will understand that I am Yahweh, the one true God" or "they will realize that I, Yahweh, have supreme power and authority" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

|
# when I set fire in Egypt
|
|
|
|
Here "set fire in Egypt" represents sending an army to attack Egypt and set fires. Alternate translation: "when I send an army to burn Egypt with fire" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# all of her helpers are destroyed
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "I destroy all of the allies of Egypt" or "when armies destroy all of those who help Egypt" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
