# Connecting Statement:
Ezekiel continue to speak about Elam.

# they have made a bed for her, with her multitude

Space being made in Sheol for the dead is spoken of as if the dead were given beds to lie on. Alternate translation: "they gave beds to Elam and all its people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# All of them are uncircumcised

The Israelites did not respect people who were not circumcised. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# pierced by the sword, because

The word "pierced" here is a metonym for "killed." This can be translated in active form. Alternate translation: "their enemies have killed them with swords because" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# So they carry their shame with those who go down to the pit
Here "shame" is spoken about as if it were an object that a person carries. Alternate translation: "So they are ashamed as they go with others down to the pit" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# those who go down to the pit
"those who go down to the grave" or "those who go down to Sheol"
