Deuteronomy 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:14

Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, are the Lord's
thy God
Made and possessed by him; the airy and starry heaven, the third heaven, which is the heaven of heavens, the seat of the divine Majesty, the habitation of angels and glorified saints:

the earth [also], with all that therein is;
that is his property, and at his disposal, being made by him, and all that is upon it, or contained in it, even whatsoever is on or in the whole terraqueous globe; see ( Psalms 115:15 Psalms 115:16 ) .

Deuteronomy 10:14 In-Context

12 So now Israel, what do you think God expects from you? Just this: Live in his presence in holy reverence, follow the road he sets out for you, love him, serve God, your God, with everything you have in you,

13 obey the commandments and regulations of God that I'm commanding you today - live a good life.

14 Look around you: Everything you see is God's - the heavens above and beyond, the Earth, and everything on it.

15 But it was your ancestors that God fell in love with; he picked their children - that's you! - out of all the other peoples. That's where we are right now.

16 So cut away the thick calluses from your heart and stop being so willfully hardheaded.
