# you have made us offensive

The Egyptians responded to the Israelites the same way they would respond to a foul odor. Alternate translation: "you have caused them to hate us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# have put a sword in their hand to kill us

Here "a sword" represents an opportunity to destroy enemies. Alternate translation: "have given them a reason to kill us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
