It Is Not Too Difficult

Now what I am commanding you today

is not too difficult for you

or beyond your reach.

It is not up in heaven,

so that you have to ask,

"Who will ascend into heaven to get it

and proclaim it to us

so we may obey it?"

Nor is it beyond the sea,

so that you have to ask,

"Who will cross the sea to get it

and proclaim it to us

so we may obey it?"

No, the word is very near you;

it is in your mouth and in your heart

so you may obey it.

For I command you today

to love the Lord your God,

to walk in His ways,

and to keep His commands, decrees and laws;

then you live and increase,

and the Lord your God will bless you in the land

you are entering to possess.

(Deuteronomy 30:11-13,15-16)
