# Yahweh gives rest to your brothers
|
|
|
|
The writer speaks as if the ability to rest were a physical object that could be given as a gift. The word "rest" is also a metaphor for peaceful life in which there is no war. AT: "Yahweh allows your brothers to rest" or "Yahweh allows your brothers to stop fighting wars and live peacefully" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
