'Copied' in the Bible
There on the stones, Joshua copied the law of Moses, which he had written in the presence of the Israelites.
They rejected his rules, the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and the laws he had commanded them to obey. They paid allegiance to worthless idols, and so became worthless to the Lord. They copied the practices of the surrounding nations in blatant disregard of the Lord's command.
These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
Have you not copied their behavior and practiced their abominable deeds? In a short time you became even more depraved in all your conduct than they were!
