The Israelites did not respect people who were not circumcised. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# pierced by the sword, because
|
|
|
|
The word "pierced" here is a metonym for "killed." This can be translated in active form. AT: "their enemies have killed them with swords because" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|

|
# Elam is among all those who were killed
|
|
|
|
This is very similar to the first part of the verse. AT: "The dead people gave Elam a place to lie among themselves" |
