Some ancient manuscripts read “the house of Jacob.” ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “the God of Jacob.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it has. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰακώβ

˱for˲_the house ˱of˲_Jacob

Here, house means all the people descended from a particular person. It envisions them as if they were one household living together. So the house of Jacob means all the people descended from the patriarch Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Alternate translation: [the people of Israel]
