1.2 KiB

You will not do all the things that we are doing here today

"You will not do as we are doing here today." This means that they would worship in the promised land differently than the way they were worshiping at that moment.

now everyone is doing whatever is right in his own eyes

The eyes represent seeing, and seeing represents thoughts or judgment. AT: "everyone is doing what he considers to be right" or "now everyone is doing what he judges to be right" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

to the rest

The abstract noun "the rest" can be stated as a verb. AT: "to the land where you will rest" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)

to the inheritance that Yahweh your God is giving you

The land that God is giving to the people of Israel is spoken of as if it were a possession that a father leaves as an inheritance for his children. AT: "to the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as a permanent possession" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
