# what was evil in the sight of Yahweh

The sight of Yahweh represents Yahweh's judgment or evaluation. See how you translated this in [Judges 2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: "what was evil in Yahweh's judgment" or "what Yahweh considered to be evil" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# forgot Yahweh their God

Here "forgot" is an idiom that means "they stopped obeying." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
