# Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues telling Ezekiel what he is to say to Gog.

# Are you not the one ... bring you against them?

Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that he was the one who brought Gog to the land of Israel. AT: "You are the one ... bring you against them." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# of whom I spoke

"that I spoke about"

# in former days

"in the past" or "a long time ago"

# by the hand of my servants

Here "hand" refers to the fact that these prophets wrote down Yahweh's message. AT: "by means of my servants" or "through my servants" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# against them

"against the people of Israel"
