Deuteronomy 10

1 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.

'At that time hath Jehovah said unto me, Grave for thee two tables of stone, like the first, and come up unto Me, into the mount, and thou hast made for 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 write on the tables the words which were on the first tables, which thou hast broken, and thou hast placed 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 make an ark of shittim wood, and grave two tables of stone like the first, and go up to the mount, and the two tables in my hand.

4 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.

'And He writeth on the tables, according to the first writing, the Ten Matters, which Jehovah hath spoken unto you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly, and Jehovah giveth 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 YHWH commanded me.

and I turn and come down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, and they are there, as Jehovah 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 sons of Israel have journeyed from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera, there Aaron died, and he is buried there, and Eleazar his son doth act as priest in his stead;

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

thence they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

8 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.

'At that time hath Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah, to serve Him, and to bless in His name, unto this day,

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

therefore there hath not been to Levi a portion and inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as Jehovah thy God hath spoken to him.

10 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.

'And I — I have stood in the mount, as the former days, forty days and forty nights, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto me also at that time; Jehovah hath not willed to destroy thee.

11 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."

'And Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go to journey before the people, and they go in and possess the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

12 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,

'And now, Israel, what is Jehovah thy God asking from thee, except to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

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

to keep the commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee?

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

'Lo, to Jehovah thy God [are] the heavens and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and all that [is] in it;

15 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.

only in thy fathers hath Jehovah delighted — to love them, and He doth fix on their seed after them — on you, out of all the peoples as [at] this day;

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

and ye have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and your neck ye do not harden any more;

17 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.

for Jehovah your God — He [is] God of the gods, and Lord of the lords; God, the great, the mighty, and the fearful; who accepteth not persons, nor taketh a bribe;

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

He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give to him bread and raiment.

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

'And ye have loved the sojourner, for sojourners ye were in the land of Egypt.

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

'Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, Him thou dost serve, and to Him thou dost cleave, and by His name thou dost 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 praise, and He [is] thy God, who hath done with thee these great and fearful [things] which thine eyes have seen:

22 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.

with seventy persons did thy fathers go down to Egypt, and now hath Jehovah thy God made thee as stars of the heavens for multitude.
