# Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues telling Baasha what he will do to him.

# See, I will consume Baasha and his family

Yahweh is speaking to Baasha, and the phrase "his family" refers to Baasha's family. This can be translated using the words "you" and "your." Alternate translation: "Listen, Baasha. I will consume you and your family" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person]])

# I will consume

Consuming represents destroying. Alternate translation: "I will completely destroy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
