THE MESSAGE
Look around you: Everything you see is God 's—the heavens above and beyond, the Earth, and everything on it. But it was your ancestors who 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. So cut away the thick calluses from your heart and stop being so willfully hardheaded. God , your God, is the God of all gods, he's the Master of all masters, a God immense and powerful and awesome. He doesn't play favorites, takes no bribes, makes sure orphans and widows are treated fairly, takes loving care of foreigners by seeing that they get food and clothing.

Contextual Overview
12 And now, Israel, what has Jehovah your God asked of you, except to fear Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul; 13 to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding you today, for your good. 14 Behold, the heavens and the Heaven of the heavens, the earth and all in it, belong to Jehovah your God. 15 Only, Jehovah has delighted in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their seed after them, on you out of all the peoples, as it is today. 16 And you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and you shall not harden your neck any more. 17 For Jehovah your God, He is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords; the great, the mighty, the fearful God who does not lift up faces, nor take a bribe. 18 He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, to give to him food and clothing. 19 And you shall love the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. 20 You shall fear Jehovah your God; you shall serve Him; and you shall cleave to Him; and you shall swear by His name. 21 He shall be your praise, and He shall be your God, who has done for you these great and fearful things which your eyes have seen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 10:14. Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens — All these words in the original are in the plural number: הן השמים ושמי השמים hen hashshamayim, ushemey hashshamayim; behold the heavens and the heavens of heavens. But what do they mean? To say that the first means the atmosphere, the second the planetary system, and the third the region of the blessed, is saying but very little in the way of explanation. The words were probably intended to point out the immensity of God's creation, in which we may readily conceive one system of heavenly bodies, and others beyond them, and others still in endless progression through the whole vortex of space, every star in the vast abyss of nature being a sun, with its peculiar and numerous attendant worlds! Thus there may be systems of systems in endless gradation up to the throne of God!
