# I will bring a sword against you
Here "sword" is a metonym for battle, and "bring a sword against you" is a metaphor for causing an enemy army to come fight against Egypt. AT: "I will cause your enemies to come fight against you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# a sword against you
The word "you" refers to the nation of Egypt. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
# I will cut off both man and beast from you
Here "cut off man and beast" is a metaphor for destroying the people and animals. God would do this by causing the enemy army to do it. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
