# General Information: Yahweh continues to talk to the prophet Ezekiel. # the Spirit of Yahweh fell on me Ezekiel speaks of the Spirit of Yahweh inspiring and empowering him to prophesy as if the Spirit of Yahweh fell upon him. AT: "the Spirit of Yahweh empowered me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) # That is what you are saying "You are saying these things." This refers to what the people were saying in [Ezekiel 11:3](./03.md). # house of Israel The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 3:1](../03/01.md). AT: "Israelites" or "Israelite people group" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
