Josué 1

Josué 1:8

Gill writes that Joshua was often to read it, frequently repeat it, and speak of it, to refresh his own memory with it, and the memory of those about him. (Joshua 1: 8 - The New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible) Book (05612) (cepher) refers to writing (as of a document) and then to evidence, letter, register, scroll, book; document; writing. Law (08451) (torah) derives from a word that means to shoot an arrow, for a teacher aims to hit the target and achieve specific goals in the lives of the students. Shall not depart from your mouth - Joshua fulfilled Jehovah's instructions to not let the Word depart from his mouth. How do we know? Because God blessed his leadership with prosperity and success. The NET Bible renders it "This law scroll must not leave your lips!" noting that "The ancient practice of reading aloud to oneself as an aid to memorization is in view here." Dwight
