# the house of Israel
2016-02-23 02:42:46 +00:00
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]])

# because of their iniquity by which they betrayed me

# I hid my face from them
Here "face" refers to Yahweh's help and protection. Alternate translation: "I stopped protecting them and taking care of them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# all of them fell by the sword
Here falling represents being killed, and the sword represents battle. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 32:23](../32/23.md). Alternate translation: "their enemies killed them all in battle" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
