1.8 KiB
On that day you are to say to your children, 'This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.'
The quotation can be stated as an indirect quote. AT: "On that day you are to tell your children that this is because of what Yahweh did for you when you came out of Egypt" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations)
This will be a reminder for you on your hand, and a reminder on your forehead
These are two different types of physical reminders so people will not forget something important. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
a reminder for you on your hand
Moses speaks of celebrating the festival as if it were tying an object around their hands to remind them of what Yahweh had done. AT: "like something you tie around your hand as a reminder" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
a reminder on your forehead
Moses speaks of celebrating the festival as if it were tying an object around their foreheads to remind them of what Yahweh had done. AT: "like something you tie around your head as a reminder" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
so the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth
The words "in your mouth" here refers to the words that they speak. AT: "so you may always be speaking of the law of Yahweh" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
strong hand
The word "hand" here represents God's actions or works. See how you translated this in Exodus 6:1. AT: "the power I show in my works" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
