The words "you," "they," "them," and "their" in these verses refer to Israel.

It is implied that "the land" refers to Canaan. AT: "foreigners in the land of Canaan" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another
|
|

# for their sakes
|
|
|
|
"for their own well-being"
|
|
|
|
# Do not touch my anointed ones
|
|
|
|
Here "touch" means to harm. It is an exaggeration Yahweh used to strengthen his warning to not harm his people. AT: "Do not harm the people I have anointed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]]) |
