Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְ֝לִבְּךָ֗ תָּשִׁ֥ית לְדַעְתִּֽי
and,mind,your apply to,knowledge,my
Here, set your heart to is an idiom that means “think carefully about.” The word heart here refers to a person’s mind, as in 2:2. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you must think carefully about my knowledge”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
לְדַעְתִּֽי
to,knowledge,my
Here, knowledge refers to the knowledge that Solomon wants his readers to know. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “to what I want you to know”
