1.3 KiB
General Information:
Yahweh speaks a parable to Ezekiel about a cooking pot that represents Jerusalem. This parable continues through Ezekiel 24:14. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables)
this rebellious house
This is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:5. AT: "this rebellious people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
Gather pieces of food
Here "food" refers specifically to meat. AT: "Place pieces of meat" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
the best of the flock
Here the "flock" refers to sheep, not birds.
pile up the bones under it
Some cultures add bones to a fire because they burn longer than wood. This refers to the bones that remained after the best bones were placed in the pot. AT: "place the rest of the bones under the pot to fuel the fire" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
