Moses uses a metaphor to speak of the people as though they were fruit that Yahweh would take off a bush. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "He will remove you from the land which you are entering to possess" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the word "you" is singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
