| NET © Notes |
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. |
