# I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear a certain report and go back to his own land

# I will put a spirit in him

"I will influence his thinking" or "I will cause him to think differently." Here "spirit" probably refers to his attitude and thoughts, rather than to a spirit being.

# I will cause him to fall by the sword
|
|

"Fall by the sword" is metonymy for being killed. Alternate translation: "I will cause him to die by the sword" or "I will cause some men to kill him with a sword" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
