These represent the descendants of Jacob. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# Have Jacob and Israel been killed as in the slaughter of those nations that were killed by them?

(See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# In exact measure you have contended
