These two phrases mean almost the same thing. Isaiah says the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, to emphasize that people will be offended by this stone. If stating the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you could combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “a stone or a rock over which people will surely stumble”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰς ὃ καὶ ἐτέθησαν

to which also ˱they˲_/were/_appointed

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “to which God also appointed them”

εἰς ὃ

to which
