-# house of Israel
+# the house of Israel
 
-The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house. In this case it refers to Israel's descendants. See how you translated this in [Amos 5:1](../05/01.md). Alternate translation: "you people of Israel" or "you Israelite people group" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
+ "you people of Israel" or "the people of Israel"
 
-# I will shake the house of Israel ... as one shakes grain in a sieve, so that not the smallest stone will fall to the ground
+# a sieve
 
-The picture here is of grain falling through the sieve and stones being kept out. The idea is that Yahweh will remove all of the sinful people from Israel. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
