Deuteronomy 30:11-14

The Choice of Life and Death

11 "For this commandment that I command you today t is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 12 u It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' 14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.
