935 B

But the righteousness that comes from faith says this

Here "righteousness" is described as a person who can speak. AT: "But Moses writes this about how faith makes a person right before God" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)

Do not say in your heart

Moses was addressing the people as if he were speaking to only one person. Here "heart" is a metonym for a person's mind or inner being. AT: "Do not say to yourself" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

Who will ascend into heaven?

Moses uses a question to teach his audience. His previous instruction of, "Do not say" requires a negative answer to this question. You can translate this question as a statement. AT: "No one is able to go up to heaven" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

that is, to bring Christ down

"in order that they might have Christ come down to earth"
