Deuteronomy 30:2 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 30:2

And shalt return unto the Lord thy God
By repentance, acknowledging their manifold sins and transgressions, particularly their disbelief and rejection of the Messiah, now seeking him and salvation by him; see ( Hosea 3:5 ) ;

and shalt obey his voice;
in the Gospel, yielding the obedience of faith to that; embracing the Gospel, and submitting to the ordinances of it:

according to all that I command thee this day, thou, and thy children;
which was to love the Lord, and walk in his ways, directed to in the Gospel, and which were to be regarded from a principle of love to God and the blessed Redeemer; see ( Deuteronomy 30:6 Deuteronomy 30:16 ) ;

with all thine heart and with all thy soul;
that is, both their return unto the Lord, and their obedience to his voice or word, should be hearty and sincere; which being the case, the following things would be done for them.

Deuteronomy 30:2 In-Context

1 cum ergo venerint super te omnes sermones isti benedictio sive maledictio quam proposui in conspectu tuo et ductus paenitudine cordis tui in universis gentibus in quas disperserit te Dominus Deus tuus

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
