Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 30:11–14

11For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heavend to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’ 13And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the seae to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’ 14But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,f so that you may obey it.
