Commentary on Deuteronomy 30:12

Theological / Devotional

Who shall go? It is possible that vs. 12 and 13 quote a proverbial saying. The meaning is that one is not required to undertake some superhuman task, to make a long, laborious journey, or seek to climb up into heaven in order to understand God’s will for man. God has clearly revealed His mind to Israel, through His prophet Moses. His righteous requirements have been written down; man is folly informed. Compare the argument of the apostle Paul (Rom. 10:5-13).
