The secrets [that which is not written down] belong (are owned by) the Lord (Yahweh) our God (Elohim), but the things that are revealed [that which is written in the Torah] belong (are owned by) us and our sons forever, so that we may do (act, act according to) the words of this teaching. [Here is an interesting aspect of ownership! Nowhere in the Bible does it say that we can own anything material. Instead, the Hebrew expression is "it belonged to Abraham," "it belonged to David," etc. The Hebrew expression does not mean formal and absolute ownership, even though it is usually translated that way. Instead, it means that someone manages or borrows something. However, there is one exception—God's word has been given to us by the Lord as a true possession! It is part of the blood covenant we have with God.]
