Bible Question (short): Pr. 6:23 the commandment is a lamp??? |
Question (full): Proverbs 6:23- For the commandment is alamp And the law light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life. In my bible the translation links the teaching of the father to the mother. The instruction should be bound about one's heart and neck, a constant companion and a trusted guide - just like God's law. lamp...light: compare ps. 119:105 Okay, I really haven't a clue what a light and lamp have to do with the mother's instruction being bound around one's heart...is the mother the light and the father the lamp in the our world family (mom, dad, kids)? I always the thought that God was the light and the lamp was scripture?? Help! I am trying to change my life bt doing what he says from this day forward. I certainly don't want to get it wrong as God has spared me far too many times to get it right!!!! Thank you in advance for any insight! |
