# the house of Israel

The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 3:1](../03/01.md). Alternate translation: "the Israelites" or "the Israelite people group" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# the wall all around

You may need to make explicit which wall. Alternate translation: "the wall all around the temple" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
