1.1 KiB
Moreover, Manasseh
"Also, Manasseh" or "In addition, Manasseh"
Manasseh shed much innocent blood
The words "shed much innocent blood" are a metonym for killing people violently. It might be best to translate this so the reader understands that other people helped Manasseh do this. AT: "Manasseh ordered his soldiers to kill many innocent people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another with death
This hyperbole emphasizes the great number of people Manasseh had killed throughout Jerusalem. The abstract noun "death" can be stated as "dead people." AT: "there were very many dead people throughout Jerusalem" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)
what was evil in the sight of Yahweh
The sight of Yahweh represents Yahweh's judgment or evaluation. See how you translated this in 2 Kings 3:2. AT: "what was evil in Yahweh's judgment" or "what Yahweh considers to be evil" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
