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 thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

9 And Jehovah thy God will make thee abound in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers;

10 if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn to Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day is not too wonderful for thee, neither is it far off.

12 It is not in the heavens, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to the heavens, and bring it to us, that we should hear it and do it?
