Deuteronomy 30:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 30:10

If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God
Or rather, "for thou shalt hearken" F16; seeing it is before promised that the Lord would circumcise their hearts to love him, and they should obey his voice, ( Deuteronomy 30:6 Deuteronomy 30:8 ) . The Targum is,

``receive the Word of the Lord:''

to keep his commandments and his statutes, which are written in this
book of the law;
particularly in this chapter, and all that are of a moral nature:

[and] if thou return unto the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul;
or, "for thou shall return" as it is promised they should, ( Deuteronomy 30:8 ) .

Deuteronomy 30:10 In-Context

8 But you will change and obey the LORD's voice and do all his commandments that I'm commanding you right now.
9 The LORD your God will help you succeed in everything you do—in your own fertility, your livestock's offspring, and your land's produce—everything will be great! Because the LORD will once again enjoy doing good things for you just as he enjoyed doing them for your ancestors,
10 and because you will be obeying the LORD your God's voice, keeping his commandments and his regulations that are written in this Instruction scroll, and because you will have returned to the LORD your God with all your heart and all your being.
11 This commandment that I'm giving you right now is definitely not too difficult for you. It isn't unreachable.
12 It isn't up in heaven somewhere so that you have to ask, "Who will go up for us to heaven and get it for us that we can hear it and do it?"
