Deuteronomy 30:2-12

2 reversus fueris ad eum et oboedieris eius imperiis sicut ego hodie praecipio tibi cum filiis tuis in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua
3 reducet Dominus Deus tuus captivitatem tuam ac miserebitur tui et rursum congregabit te de cunctis populis in quos te ante dispersit
4 si ad cardines caeli fueris dissipatus inde te retrahet Dominus Deus tuus
5 et adsumet atque introducet in terram quam possederunt patres tui et obtinebis eam et benedicens tibi maioris numeri esse te faciet quam fuerunt patres tui
6 circumcidet Dominus Deus tuus cor tuum et cor seminis tui ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua et possis vivere
7 omnes autem maledictiones has convertet super inimicos tuos et eos qui oderunt te et persequuntur
8 tu autem reverteris et audies vocem Domini Dei tui faciesque universa mandata quae ego praecipio tibi hodie
9 et abundare te faciet Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum in subole uteri tui et in fructu iumentorum tuorum in ubertate terrae tuae et in rerum omnium largitate revertetur enim Dominus ut gaudeat super te in omnibus bonis sicut gavisus est in patribus tuis
10 si tamen audieris vocem Domini Dei tui et custodieris praecepta eius et caerimonias quae in hac lege conscriptae sunt et revertaris ad Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua
11 mandatum hoc quod ego praecipio tibi hodie non supra te est neque procul positum
12 nec in caelo situm ut possis dicere quis nostrum ad caelum valet conscendere ut deferat illud ad nos et audiamus atque opere conpleamus

Deuteronomy 30:2-12 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.
