Yosua 1:8
Konteks1:8 This law scroll must not leave your lips! 1 You must memorize it 2 day and night so you can carefully obey 3 all that is written in it. Then you will prosper 4 and be successful. 5
Yesaya 48:15
Konteks48:15 I, I have spoken –
yes, I have summoned him;
I lead him and he will succeed. 6
[1:8] sn This law scroll must not leave your lips. The ancient practice of reading aloud to oneself as an aid to memorization is in view here.
[1:8] 2 tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).
[1:8] 3 tn Heb “be careful to do.”
[1:8] 4 tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”
[1:8] 5 tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.
