# To the law and to the testimony

Possible meanings are 1) "Pay attention to God's instructions and teaching" or 2) "Then you must remember the teaching and testimony I gave." ([Isaiah 8:16](../08/16.md)).

# the law
|
|

This is the same word translated "official record" in [Isaiah 8:16](../08/16.md).

# the testimony
|
|

See how you translated this in [Isaiah 8:16](../08/16.md).

# If they do not say such things

"If they do not speak of the law and the testimony"

# it is because they have no light of dawn
|

Isaiah speaks of people who do not know God as if they were people walking in darkness without any light. Alternate translation: "it is because they are like a person lost in the dark" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
