Deuteronomy 30:1-18

30:1

things <01697> [it shall come.]

blessings <01293> [the blessing.]

reflect <07725> [thou shalt call.]

Lord <03068> [whither.]

30:2

turn .... Lord <07725 03068> [return unto.]

mind <03824> [with all thine heart.]

30:3

Lord ......................... he <03068> [then the.]

gather ...... peoples <06908 05971> [gather thee.]

This seems to refer to a more extensive captivity than that which the Jews suffered in Babylon.

30:4

distant <07097> [unto.]

Lord <03068> [thence will the.]

As this promise refers to a return from a captivity among all nations, consequently it cannot be exclusively the Babylonish captivity which is intended; and the repossession of their land must be different from that which was consequent on their return from Babylon. Nor at that period could it be said that they were multiplied more than their fathers, or, as the Hebrew imports, made greater than their fathers, when after their return they were tributary to the Persians, and afterwards fell under the power of the Greeks, under whom they suffered much; nor have their hearts, as a nation, yet been circumcised.

30:6

cleanse <04135> [will circumcise.]

Lord ................... love <0157 03068> [to love the Lord.]

30:7

30:8

30:9

rejoice ....... prosperous ..... rejoiced <07797 02896> [rejoice over thee.]

30:10

obey <08085 06963> [hearken unto.]

turn <07725> [turn into.]

30:11

difficult <06381> [it is not hidden.]

Or as the word {niphlaith} implies, not too wonderful for thee to comprehend or perform; but easily to be acquainted with, and understood, because clearly revealed: neither is it afar off; it was proclaimed in you ears from mount Sinai, and is now proclaimed in the sanctuary: it is not in heaven; for it has been already revealed: neither is it beyond the sea; that you need travel for instruction, as the ancient philosophers did, or seek instruction from men, at immense labour and expense; but the word is very nigh to thee; brought to thy very doors; in thy mouth, and in thy heart; made so familiar as to afford a topic of common discourse, that it might be laid up in the memory and reduced to practice.

30:12

30:13

cross <05674> [Who shall.]

across ... sea ......... cross ...... side .... sea <03220 05676 05674> [go over the sea.]

30:14

very <03966> [very.]

mouth <06310> [mouth.]

30:15

30:16
