Yahweh uses a question to emphasize that the people of Israel are no more special to him than the people of Cush. Alternate translation: "You people of Israel, you are certainly now no more important to me than the people of Cush." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# this is Yahweh's declaration
|

Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated these words in [Amos 2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: "this is what Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, Yahweh, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])

Yahweh uses a question to emphasize that the people of Israel are no more special than the Philistines or the Arameans. Alternate translation: "Yes, I brought the people of Israel from the land of Egypt, but I also brought the Philistines from Crete and the Arameans from Kir." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

See how you translated the name of this place in [Amos 1:5](../01/05.md).
