Taw Your testimonies The term "testimonies" in Hebrew is "עֵדוֹת" (edot), which refers to the divine decrees or laws given by God. These are not merely legalistic commands but are seen as God's witness to His covenant with His people. In the context of the Old Testament, testimonies are often associated with the tablets of the covenant, which were placed in the Ark of the Covenant. This highlights the sacredness and the divine origin of these decrees. For the psalmist, these testimonies are not just rules but are a reflection of God's character and His will for humanity. They serve as a guide for living a life that is pleasing to God and are a source of wisdom and understanding. are my heritage forever for they are the joy of my heart Parallel Commentaries ...
