Arabic term
وقفوا على رسائل الرب
Arabic to English

Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a text where there is a doctor/herbalist who is a teacher, and here he is explaining something to his student.
"كانت النباتات بمختلف أنواعها رسالة الرب لنا، نحن من الأرض ولها ...انظروا إلى التشابه بين الأعضاء البشرية والنباتات وقفوا على رسائل الرب ..."
So a literal translation would be, 'stand on the messages of the God,' - but I don't really think that makes sense here.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

I think that is the intended meaning in Arabic;
The teacher is telling them to think about/ ponder/ contemplate God’s messages

Another was of saying it would be:
قفوا على رسائل الرب = stop and think about/ take a moment to think about God’s messages
