# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so except where noted the words "you" and "your" here are singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
|
|
|
|
# I call heaven and earth to witness
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) Moses is calling on all those who live in heaven and earth to be witnesses to what he says, or 2) Moses is speaking to heaven and earth as if they are people, and he is calling them to be witnesses to what he says (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-apostrophe]])
|
|
|
|
# to witness against you
|
|
|
|
"to be willing to say that you have done evil things"
|
|
|
|
# against you today
|
|
|
|
Moses speaks to the Israelites as a group. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
|
|
|
|
# obey his voice
|
|
|
|
Here "voice" refers to what Yahweh says. AT: "obey what he says" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# to cling to him
|
|
|
|
"to rely on him"
|
|
|
|
# For he is your life and the length of your days
|
|
|
|
These phrases have the same meaning and are metonyms for Yahweh, emphasizing that he is the one who gives life and determines the length of people's lifetimes. AT: "Yahweh is the only one who can enable you to live a long life" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# swore to your ancestors
|
|
|
|
The ellipsis can be filled in. AT: "swore that he would give to your ancestors" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
