Deuteronomy 10

1 “Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.

At the time that he said Yahweh to me cut out for yourself two (tablets of *L(abh)*) stone like the former [tablets] and come up to me the mountain towards and you will make for yourself an ark of wood.

2 I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’

So I may inscribe on the tablets the words which they were on the tablets former which you shattered and you will put them in the ark.

3 “So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.

And I made an ark of wood of acacia and I cut out two tablets of stone like the former [tablets] and I went up the mountain towards and [the] two the tablets [were] in hand my.

4 There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,

And he wrote on the tablets like the writing former [the] ten the words which he had spoken Yahweh to you on the mountain from [the] middle of the fire on [the] day of the assembly and he gave them Yahweh to me.

5 and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”

And I turned and I came down from the mountain and I put the tablets in the ark which I had made and they have been there just as he commanded me Yahweh.

6 (Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.

And [the] people of Israel they set out from Beeroth Bene-Yaaqan Moserah there he died Aaron and he was buried there and he served as priest Eleazar son his in place of him.

7 From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.

From there they set out Gudgodah towards and from Gudgodah towards Jotbathah a land of torrents of water.

8 At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.

At the time that he set apart Yahweh [the] tribe of the Levite[s] to carry [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh to stand before Yahweh to serve him and to bless in name his until the day this.

9 That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)

There-fore not it belongs to Levi a portion and an inheritance with brothers his Yahweh he [is] inheritance his just as he spoke Yahweh God your to him.

10 “I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.

And I I remained on the mountain like the days former forty day[s] and forty night[s] and he listened Yahweh to me also at the time that not he was willing Yahweh to destroy you.

11 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”

And he said Yahweh to me arise go to journeying before the people so they may go and they may take possession of the land which I swore to ancestors their to give to them.

12 “Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],

And now O Israel what? [is] Yahweh God your asking from with you that except to fear Yahweh God your to walk in all ways his and to love him and to serve Yahweh God your with all heart your and with all being your.

13 and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.

To keep [the] commandments of Yahweh and statutes his which I [am] commanding you this day for good of you.

14 “Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.

There! [belong] to Yahweh God your the heavens and [the] heavens of the heavens the earth and all that [is] in it.

15 But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.

Only ancestors your he loved Yahweh to love them and he chose offspring their after them you from all the peoples as the day this.

16 So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!

And you will circumcise [the] foreskin of heart your and neck your not you will make stiff again.

17 Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.

For Yahweh God your he [is] [the] God of the gods and [the] lord of the lords the God great mighty and awesome who not he lifts up face and not he takes a bribe.

18 He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.

[he is] bringing about Judgment of a fatherless one and a widow and [he is] loving a sojourner to give to him food and clothing.

19 So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.

And you will love the sojourner for sojourners you were in [the] land of Egypt.

20 Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.

Yahweh God your you will fear him you will serve and to him you will cleave and in name his you will swear oaths.

21 He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.

He [is] praise your and he [is] God your who he has done with you the great [things] and the awesome [deeds] these which they have seen eyes your.

22 When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”

Seventy person[s] they went down ancestors your (Egypt towards *L(abh)*) and now he has made you Yahweh God your like [the] stars of the heavens for multitude.
