< 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 YHWH 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 in the first tables which thou brakest, 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.
And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine 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 commandments, which YHWH spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and YHWH 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 myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as YHWH 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 took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: 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 Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
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 YHWH separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of YHWH, to stand before YHWH 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 part nor inheritance with his brethren; YHWH is his inheritance, according as YHWH thy Elohim promised 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.
And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and YHWH hearkened unto me at that time also, and YHWH 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 YHWH said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware 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 YHWH thy Elohim require of thee, but to fear YHWH thy Elohim, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve YHWH thy Elohim 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 the commandments of YHWH, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14 Look, to Jehovah your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is YHWH 's thy Elohim, the earth also, 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 YHWH had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, 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 YHWH your Elohim is the mighty one of the elohim, and Sovereign of sovereign, a great El, mighty, and terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh bribes:
18 He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.
He doth execute the judgment of 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 YHWH thy Elohim; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
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 praise, and he is thy Elohim, that hath done for thee these great and terrible 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 YHWH thy Elohim hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
