Deuteronomy 30:1

CHAPTER XXX

Gracious promises are given to the penitent, 1-6.

The Lord will circumcise their heart, and put all these curses

on their enemies, if they hearken to his voice and keep his

testimonies, 7-10.

The word is near to them, and easy to be understood, 11-14.

Life and death, a blessing and a curse, are set before them; and

they are exhorted to love the Lord, obey his voice, and cleave

unto him, that they may inherit the land promised to Abraham,

15-20.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXX

Verse Deuteronomy 30:1. When all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse] So fully did God foresee the bad use these people would make of their free agency in resisting the Holy Ghost, that he speaks of their sin and punishment as certain; yet, at the same time, shows how they might turn to himself and live, even while he was pouring out his indignation upon them because of their transgressions.
