|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## and will be exalted above the hills ##
|
|
|
|
This can be translated with an active verb: "and Yahweh will honor it more than any other hill." ([[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

The people around the world going to the mountain of Yahweh is compared to how a river flows. This emphasizes that many people will come not just a few people. Alternate translations: "will flow like a river to it" or "will go to it" (UDB) or "will go in great crowds to it." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) |
