# General Information:
|
|
|
|
These are the words of Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
# See
|
|
|
|
Yahweh uses this word here to draw the people's attention to what he says next. AT: "Listen" or "Indeed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
|
|
|
|
# days are coming
|
|
|
|
This is an idiom. AT: "there will be a time" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
|
|
|
|
# this is Yahweh's declaration
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 1:8](../01/07.md). AT: "this is what Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, Yahweh, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])

|
# all the circumcised who are such only in their body
|
|
|
|
This refers to the people of Israel who have entered into Yahweh's covenant by getting circumcised physically, but who have not changed their inner beings by following his laws. AT: "all those people who have changed their bodies by circumcising them but who have not changed their inner beings" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# all the people who cut the hair on their heads very short
|
|
|
|
This probably refers to people who cut their hair short in order to honor a pagan god. Some modern versions interpret this Hebrew expression as "all the people who live on the edge of the wilderness."
|
|
|
|
# For all these nations are uncircumcised
|
|
|
|
The word "nations" refers to the people who live in these places. Foreigners being uncircumcised was a sign that they were not in Yahweh's covenant. AT: "For the people of these nations did not enter into a covenant with Yahweh through circumcision" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# all the house of Israel has an uncircumcised heart
|
|
|
|
The "heart" represents a person's will and desires. An "uncircumcised heart" represents the character of a person that does not follow Yahweh and his laws. Also, the "house" of Israel refers to the people of Israel. AT: "all the people of Israel are only circumcised on the outside and have not changed their hearts" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
