8 “And you shall again 1obey the Lord, and observe all His commandments which I command you today.

9 “aThen the Lord your God will 1prosper you abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the 2offspring of your 3body and in the 2offspring of your cattle and in the 2produce of your ground, for bthe Lord will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers;

10 1if you 2obey the Lord your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which aare written in this book of the law, 1if you turn to the Lord your God bwith all your heart and soul.

11 “For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it 1out of reach.

12 “It is not in heaven, 1that you should say, ‘aWho will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’

13 “Nor is it beyond the sea, 1that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’

14 “But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.
