(See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]]) # to build a house for him Here the word "house" represents a temple. Alternate translation: "to build a temple for him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) # his people "Yahweh's people" # Let him go up to the land "Let that person go up to the land of Judah"
