John Trapp Complete Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:14

Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].

Ver. 14. Behold the heaven and the heaven of heavens.] Not the air and sky only, the visible heaven, but the third heaven, whereof no natural knowledge can be had, nor any help by human arts, geometry, optics, &c. For it is neither aspectable nor movable.

The earth also.] So that there was no necessity of pitching upon thee for his peculiar, since he had choice enough before him.
