< Deuteronomy 10 >

1 At that time Jehovah 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.
At that time the LORD said unto me: 'Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto Me into the mount; and make thee an ark of wood.
2 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."
And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt put them in the ark.'
3 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.
So I made an ark of acacia-wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in my hand.
4 He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Jehovah spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Jehovah gave them to me.
And He wrote on the tables according to the first writing, the ten words, which the LORD spoke unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them unto me.
5 I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Jehovah commanded me.
And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me. —
6 (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.
And the children of Israel journeyed from Beeroth-benejaakan to Moserah; there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
From thence they journeyed unto Gudgod; and from Gudgod to Jotbah, a land of brooks of water. —
8 At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name, unto this day.
9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah your God spoke to him.)
Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God spoke unto him. —
10 I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Jehovah listened to me that time also, and Jehovah would not destroy you.
Now I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me that time also; the LORD would not destroy thee.
11 Jehovah 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."
And the LORD said unto me: 'Arise, go before the people, causing them to set forward, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give unto them.'
12 Now, Israel, what does Jehovah your God require of you, but 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,
And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul;
13 to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?
to keep for thy good the commandments of the LORD, and His statutes, which I command thee this day?
14 Look, to Jehovah your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.
Behold, unto the LORD thy God belongeth the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that therein is.
15 Only Jehovah 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.
Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and He chose their seed after them, even you, above all peoples, as it is this day.
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
17 For Jehovah 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.
For the LORD your God, He is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awful, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward.
18 He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.
He doth execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Love ye therefore the stranger; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 You shall fear Jehovah your God; you shall serve him; and you shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; Him shalt thou serve; and to Him shalt thou cleave, and by His name shalt thou swear.
21 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.
He is thy glory, and He is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and tremendous things, which thine eyes have seen.
22 Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Jehovah your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
