Joshua 17:18

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.
6 tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15.
7 tn Heb “and its limits will be yours.”
