Deuteronomy 10

1 At that time the Lord said to me: Hew thee two tables of stone like the former, and come up to me into the mount: and thou shalt make an ark of mood,

At that time YHWH said to me, "Cut two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in them, which thou brokest before, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark."

3 And I made an ark of setim wood And when I had hewn two tables of stone like the former, I went up into the mount, having them in my hands.

So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.

4 And he wrote in the tables, according as he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the fire, when the people were assembled: and he gave them to me.

He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which YHWH spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and YHWH gave them to me.

5 And returning from the mount, I came down, and put the tables into the ark, that I had made, and they are there till this present, as the Lord commanded me.

I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as YHWH commanded me.

6 And the children of Israel removed their camp from Beroth of the children of Jacan into Mosera, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him in the priestly office.

(The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his place.

7 From thence they came to Gadgad, from which place they departed, and camped in Jetebatha, in a land of waters and torrents.

From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

8 At that time he separated the tribe of Levi, to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to stand before him in the ministry, and to bless in his name until this present day.

At that time YHWH set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of YHWH, to stand before YHWH to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor possession with his brethren: because the Lord himself is his possession, as the Lord thy God promised him.

Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; YHWH is his inheritance, according as YHWH your God spoke to him.)

10 And I stood in the mount, as before, forty days and nights: and the Lord heard me this time also, and would not destroy thee.

I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and YHWH listened to me that time also, and YHWH would not destroy you.

11 And he said to me: Go, and walk before the people, that they may enter, and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would give them.

YHWH said to me, "Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them."

12 And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but that thou fear the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

Now, Israel, what does YHWH your God require of you, but to fear YHWH your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee?

to keep the commandments of YHWH, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?

14 Behold heaven is the Lord’s thy God, and the heaven of heaven, the earth and all things that are therein.

Look, to YHWH your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.

15 And yet the Lord hath been closely joined to thy fathers, and loved them and chose their seed after them, that is to say, you, out of all nations, as this day it is proved.

Only YHWH had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their descendants after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.

16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no more.

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

17 Because the Lord your God he is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great God and mighty and terrible, a who accepteth no person nor taketh bribes.

For YHWH your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn't respect persons, nor takes reward.

18 He doth judgment to the fatherless and the widow, loveth the stranger, and giveth him food and raiment.

He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.

19 And do you therefore love strangers, because you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

20 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him only: to him thou shalt adhere, and shalt swear by his name.

You shall fear YHWH your God; you shall serve him; and you shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

21 He is thy praise, and thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen.

He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.

22 In seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt: and behold now the Lord thy God hath multiplied thee as the stars of heaven.

Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now YHWH your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
