UTN uW Translation Notes:

General Information:

Yahweh is speaking to the people of Israel.

(Occurrence 0) I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼEfrayim surely rich gained wealth to=me all/each/any/every labors,my not find to=me iniquity which/who sin )

This could mean: (1) “I am Yahweh your God, who brought your ancestors from the land of Egypt” or (2) “I have been your God ever since you were in the land of Egypt” or (3) “I became your God when you were in the land of Egypt”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) I will again make you live in tents

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼEfrayim surely rich gained wealth to=me all/each/any/every labors,my not find to=me iniquity which/who sin )

This could mean: (1) Yahweh is threatening to force the people of Israel from their homes and make them live in tents. So, here to “live in tents” would represent being sent into exile, or (2) it is a promise that after their exile the people will live in tents again, and Yahweh will take care of them as he did when the Israelites left Egypt. So, here “to live in tents” would represent a return to an ideal situation when Yahweh took care of his people.
