11. This commandment which I am commanding you today is not hidden from you, nor is it far off.
12. It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who will go up for us to heaven and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and do it?”
13. It is not beyond the sea, so that you should say, “Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and do it?”
14. But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, so that you may do it.
15. See, today I have set before you life and prosperity, and death and disaster.
16. What I am commanding you today is to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, so that you may live and multiply. Then the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.
