Joshua 1:8

Context
1:8 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 

1 tn Heb “mouth.”

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.

2 tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).

3 tn Heb “be careful to do.”

4 tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”

5 tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.
