* it is not hidden.
Or as the word {niphlaith} implies, not too wonderful for thee
to comprehend or perform; but easily to be acquainted with,
and understood, because clearly revealed: neither is it afar
off; it was proclaimed in you ears from mount Sinai, and is
now proclaimed in the sanctuary: it is not in heaven; for it
has been already revealed: neither is it beyond the sea; that
you need travel for instruction, as the ancient philosophers
did, or seek instruction from men, at immense labour and
expense; but the word is very nigh to thee; brought to thy
very doors; in thy mouth, and in thy heart; made so familiar
as to afford a topic of common discourse, that it might be
laid up in the memory and reduced to practice.
Ps 147:19,20 Isa 45:19 Ro 16:25,26 Col 1:26,27
