# General Information:
|
|
|
|
These are Yahweh's words about Egypt.
|
|
|
|
# I will make the rivers into dry ground
|
|
|
|
"I will dry up the rivers of Egypt"
|
|
|
|
# I will sell the land into the hand of wicked men
|
|
|
|
Yahweh will give the Babylonians control over Egypt just as a person who sells something gives the one who buys it control over that thing. AT: "I will give control of the land to wicked men" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# I will make the land and its fullness desolate by the hand of strangers
|
|
|
|
Here "hand of strangers" represents the actions of strangers. "I will cause people from another nation to destroy the land and everything in it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# its fullness
|
|
|
|
"everything in the land" |
