Jesus is not seeking information. He uses these questions to test the Jewish teacher's knowledge. AT: "Tell me what Moses wrote in the law and what you think it means." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# What is written in the law?
This can be asked in active form. AT: "What did Moses write in the law?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# How do you read it?
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
"What have you read in it?" or "What do you understand it to say?"

# You will love ... neighbor as yourself
The man is quoting what Moses wrote in the law.
# with all your heart, with all your soul

The idiom "with all ... heart" means "completely" and "with all ... soul" means "with all ... being." See how you translated these two phrases in [Deuteronomy 4:29 ](../../deu/04/29.md ). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# with all your mind

2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
The mind is what people use to think.

# your neighbor as yourself
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
2017-06-24 00:15:21 +00:00
This simile can be stated more clearly. AT: "love your neighbor as much as you love yourself" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
