# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh gives Ezekiel a message about what will happen to Israel.
|
|
|
|
# I will set my glory among the nations
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of his glory as if he will place it in the middle of the nations where they can see it. Alternate translation: "I will make the nations see my glory" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# my judgment that I perform and my hand that I have set against them
|
|
|
|
Both of these phrases refer to the punishment that Yahweh will inflict upon Israel and are repeated for emphasis. They can be combined into a single phrase. Alternate translation: "the way that I will judge them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
|
|
|
|
# my hand
|
|
|
|
Here the metonym "hand" refers to Yahweh's power that he uses to bring punishment. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# against them
|
|
|
|
"against Gog and his great army"
