# General Information:

Yahweh continues the speech he began in [Joel 2:25](../02/25.md), promising good things for the people of Israel.

# It will come about afterward that I

"This is what I will do after that: I"

# I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh

Yahweh speaks of the Spirit as if he were speaking of water. Alternate translation: "I will give my Spirit generously to all flesh" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# all flesh

Here "flesh" represents people. Alternate translation: "all people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
