Joshua 1:8

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.”

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.
