# the house of Israel
|
|
|
|
Here "house" represents the people. Alternate translation: "the people of Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# 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
|
|
|
|
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/translate/figs-simile]])
