Deuteronomy 30:11

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

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.
