# Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun
|
|
|
|
These are the names of some of the tribes that lived in the northern part of Israel. See how you translated "Zebulun" in [2 Chronicles 30:10](../30/10.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

# against the written instructions
|
|
|
|
To do something "against" instructions means to do something that is not in obedience to the instructions. If needed, the instructions can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: "even though the written instructions said that they must purify themselves first" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# the good Yahweh
|
|
|
|
The word "good" here is a reminder to the people that Yahweh is kind. Alternate translation: "Yahweh, who is good" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-distinguish]])

# everyone who sets his heart to seek God
|
|
|
|
Here "sets his heart" is a metaphor for being determined to do something, and "to seek God" is a metaphor for knowing, worshiping, and obeying him. Alternate translation: "everyone who is determined to obey God" or "everyone who truly wants to honor God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
