WELL, thoroughly — an adverb made from the verb to do good, and in Deuteronomy the word for doing a thing all the way. ⭐ It stands in five verses of this book. Moses grinds the golden calf well, until it was as fine as dust (9:21); a court must inquire thoroughly before it acts on a report of idolatry (13:15, 17:4) or on a witness (19:18); and the law is to be written on the stones of Ebal plainly and thoroughly, ba’er heitev (27:8, all already on these pages). The care demanded of a judge reading evidence is demanded of the hand writing the law. ⚠ Jonah 4:4 and 4:9 (not yet on these pages) turn it into God’s question, is it well for you to be angry? — the same adverb, asked rather than commanded. The shelf reads ‘very plainly’ at 27:8 (KJV, ASV), the Geneva ‘well and plainly’, the only English on the shelf to keep the well; the RV 1909 and RV60 «muy claramente». → first discussed at Deut 27:8
