12 It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven 13 And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea 14 But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart 15 See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, as well as death and disaster. 16 For I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God {YHWH Eloheka}, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18 I declare to you⁺ today that you⁺ will surely perish; you⁺ shall not prolong your days in the land that you are crossing the Jordan (flowing down) to possess. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you⁺ today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live, 20 and that you may love the LORD your God {YHWH Eloheka}, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham (father of many), Isaac (he laughs), and Jacob (he grasps the heel).” Deuteronomy 30:12-20, Berean Annotated Bible.
