UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) then it should be to me that you return

(Some words not found in UHB: if you(ms)_will_return Yisrael declares YHWH to=me you(ms)_will_return and=if remove abominations,your from,presence,my and=not waver )

This could mean: (1) this is a command that emphasizes who they should return to. Alternate translation: “then come back to me” or “then worship me” (2) this is a repetition of the first phrase, which expresses a condition. Alternate translation: “if you will come back to me” or “if you will start worshiping me again” (See also: figs-idiom)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) If you remove your detestable things from before me

(Some words not found in UHB: if you(ms)_will_return Yisrael declares YHWH to=me you(ms)_will_return and=if remove abominations,your from,presence,my and=not waver )

Here “detestable things” refers to idols, which God hates. Alternate translation: “If you remove your disgusting idols from my presence”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) do not wander from me again

(Some words not found in UHB: if you(ms)_will_return Yisrael declares YHWH to=me you(ms)_will_return and=if remove abominations,your from,presence,my and=not waver )

Here “wander” is a metaphor for being unfaithful. Alternate translation: “if you remain faithful to me”
