Here Jesus speaks as if these two commandments were hooks upon which the whole Law and the Prophets hang. He could mean that: (1) the whole Law and the Prophets depend upon and elaborate these two commandments. Alternate translation: [The whole Law and the Prophets elaborate on just these two commandments]; (2) these two commandments summarize the whole Law and the Prophets. Alternate translation: [These two commandments summarize the whole Law and the Prophets]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν ταύταις ταῖς δυσίν ἐντολαῖς Ὅλος ὁ νόμος κρέμαται καί οἱ προφῆται)

The word Law is the name for one part of the Hebrew Scriptures, and the word Prophets is the name for another part of the Hebrew Scriptures. Show this in your translation in the way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [all the Scriptures, both the Law and the Prophets]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οἱ προφῆται

the prophets

The word Prophets represents what the prophets said and wrote. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the writings of the prophets]
