THE WORD THAT MOSES TAUGHT

Moses gave an appraisal with reference to the word that he had proclaimed and taught the children of Israel. What he said is very relevant to us too

11 “For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. 

12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 

13 Nor 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, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.     Deuteronomy 30:11-14
