I'm reading Intro to God, 3-Towrah, p 50, Deut. 4:6 where you translate:
And you should observe and you should act upon and engage in this in order for you to be wise, for you to be discerning, in addition to gaining perspective. The family who by association listens to all of God's clearly communicated prescriptions, and declares them exclusively (raq - only, and at the exclusion of anything else)...
my question is, which KJV word does the Hebrew 'raq' correspond to? The only tool I have is the Strong's Concordance, and I want to confirm that this is what 'raq' means.
the KJV reads: Keep therefore, and do (them) for this (is) your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, surely this great nation (is) a wise and understanding people.
