Deuteronomy 30:2-10

2 and ¹return to the LORD your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul,

3 then the LORD your God ²will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you, and he will ³gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you.

4 ⁴If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will take you.

5 And the LORD your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. ⁵And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers.

6 And ⁶the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, ⁷so that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.

7 And the LORD your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you.

8 And you shall again obey the voice of the LORD and keep all his commandments that I command you today.

9 ⁸The LORD your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. ⁹For the LORD will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers,

10 when you obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deuteronomy 30:2-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 30

This chapter contains some gracious promises of the conversion of the Jews in the latter day, of their calling things to mind that have befallen them, of their repentance, and the circumcision of their hearts to love the Lord, of the return of them to their own land, and of the great increase of them, and of their enjoyment of plenty of good things, De 30:1-10; in it is an account of the Gospel, or word of faith, which at this time should be brought near to the Jews, and be received by them, De 30:11-14; and for the present Moses desires them to consider what he now set before them, and what would be the consequences of receiving or rejecting it, and so what it would be most proper for them to make choice of, De 30:15-20.
