Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 30:11

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day , it is not hidden from thee , neither is it far off .

He seems to speak of the law, or of that great command of loving and obeying God, mentioned here v. 2, 6, 10, 16. which is the sum of the Law, of which yet he doth not here speak simply, or as it is in it self, but as it is mollified and accompanied with the Grace of the Gospel, whereby God circumciseth mens hearts to do this, as is expressed, v. 6. The meaning is, that although the practise of Gods Law strictly and severely be now far from us, and above our strength, yet, considering the advantage of Gospel Grace, whereby God enables us in some measure to our duty, and accepts of our sincere endeavours in stead of perfection, and imputes Christs perfect righteousness unto us that believe, now it is near and easie to us. And so this place well agrees with Rom. 10. 6, &c. where St. Paul expounds or applies this place to the righteousness of faith; by which alone the Law is such as it is here described.

Heb. Is not too wonderful for thee, as Deut. 17. 8. Prov. 30. 18. Ier. 32. 17. i. e. not too hard for thee to know and do: the Will of God, which is but darkly manifested to other nations, Act. 17. 27. is clearly and fully revealed unto thee: thou canst not pretend ignorance or invincible difficulty.

(i. e.) Out of thy reach.
