Dt 30, 1-20

1 “Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed you, 2 and when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole soul, 3 then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before. 4 Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there. 5 And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever were. 6 The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live. 7 And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you. 8 But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day. 9 And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in 113 the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers: 10 but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 11 This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away. 12 Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’ 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’ 14 Instead, the word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it. 15 Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil, 16 so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess. 17 But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them, 18 then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live, 20 and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”

Verš 3

then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.

Neh 1:8 - Remember the word which you commanded to your servant Moses, saying: ‘When you will have transgressed, I will disperse you among the nations.

Ž 106:45 -

Jer 32:37 - Behold, I will gather them together from all the lands to which I have cast them out in my fury, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation. And I will lead them back to this place, and I will cause them to live in confidence.

Verš 4

Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.

Neh 1:9 - But if you will return to me, and keep my precepts, and do them, even if you will have been led away to the furthest reaches of the heavens, I will gather you from there, and I will lead you back to the place that I have chosen so that my name would dwell there.’

Verš 6

The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.

Jer 32:39 - And I will give to them one heart and one way, so that they may fear me all their days, and so that it may be well with them, and with their sons after them.

Ez 11:19 - And I will give them one heart. And I will distribute a new spirit to their interior. And I will take away the heart of stone from their body. And I will give them a heart of flesh.

Ez 36:26 - And I will give to you a new heart, and I will place in you a new spirit. And I will take away the heart of stone from your body, and I will give to you a heart of flesh.

Verš 9

And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in 113 the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers:

Dt 28:11 - The Lord will cause you be abundant in every good thing: in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, which the Lord swore to your fathers that he would give to you.

Verš 11

This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away.

Iz 45:19 - I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.

Verš 12

Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’

Rim 10:6 - But the justice that is of faith speaks in this way: Do not say in your heart: “Who shall ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down);

Verš 19

I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,

Dt 4:26 - I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that you shall quickly perish from the land, which, when you have crossed over the Jordan, you will possess. You will not live in it for a long time; instead, the Lord will destroy you.

Dt 30,11-14 - Zákon ľahko možno zachovať, nie síce preto, že by jeho plnenie od ľudí nevyžadovalo ostražitosť a sebazápor, lež preto, že ho možno ľahko poznať a pochopiť. Izraelita sa nemusí trápiť otázkou, čo vlastne Boh od neho žiada. Vôľa Božia je mu zjavná, je v jeho ústach a v jeho srdci, čiže: Mojžiš dostatočne oznámil vôľu Pánovu a Izraeliti to mohli pochopiť (srdce = myseľ). Izraeliti majú teda jasnú normu pre svoj život a konanie, majú ju ustavične pri sebe a v sebe.

Dt 30,15-20 - V týchto veršoch máme jasne naznačenú slobodu vôle ľudskej a spolu aj zodpovednosť človeka za jeho skutky. K v. 19 pozri 15,4 a 4,26.
