The word "Elam" is a metonym for the Elamites, the people of Elam. See how similar words are translated in [Jeremiah 29:14](../29/14.md). Alternate translation: "free the people of Elam from their captivity" or "cause the Elamites to live well again" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]]) - +"free the people of Elam from their captivity".
