# House of Jacob
|
|
|
|
"You descendants of Jacob." The word "house" is a metonym for the people who live in the house, the family. Here "Jacob" represents the nation of Judah, but it would be best to use "Jacob" here. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# let us walk in the light of Yahweh
|
|
|
|
Isaiah speaks of people learning and then doing what Yahweh wants them to do as if they were walking at night with a lamp that Yahweh has provided so they can see the path. Alternate translation: "let us learn how Yahweh wants us to live and then live that way" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
