can be interpreted in many different ways
Literally turn it over and over, implying that when you look at it different ways you can see different things in it.
Example sentence:
As one rabbi put it two thousand years ago (Ben Bag Bag, Pirkei Avot, Hafoch ba hafoch ba), “Turn it and turn it, for everything is in it.”
רובם ככולם גורסים שאין שאלה בעולם אשר אין עליה תשובה בהלכה: ״הפוך בה והפוך בה. שהכול בה״. from Being Jewish: relevant Judaism for modern life
