BrLXX υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, διήγησαι διήγημα καὶ εἰπὸν παραβολὴν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ,
(huie anthrōpou, diaʸgaʸsai diaʸgaʸma kai eipon parabolaʸn pros ton oikon tou Israaʸl, )
17:1-24 This chapter uses a riddle, a form of metaphorical speech that both conceals and reveals. It is also a fable, a story that communicates a moral message about humans by transposing it into the world of plants and animals. The imaginative context creates a distance between the story and the reality and thus disarms the hearer’s defenses against an unpalatable message.

(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind propound riddle and,speak allegory to/towards house_of Yisrael )

(Occurrence 0) present a riddle and speak a parable
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind propound riddle and,speak allegory to/towards house_of Yisrael )

(Occurrence 0) the house of Israel
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind propound riddle and,speak allegory to/towards house_of Yisrael )
The word “house” 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 3:1. Alternate translation: “the Israelite people group”
