Deuteronomy 10
1 At that time Yahweh said to me, 'Carve two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
At that time the Lord said to me, Hew for yourself two stone tables as the first, and come up to me into the mountain, and you shall make for yourself an ark of wood.
2 I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and you will put them in the ark.'
And you shall write upon the tables the words which were on the first tables which you did break, and you shall put them into the ark.
3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and I carved two tablets of stone like the first, and I went up the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.
So I made an ark of boards of incorruptible wood, and I hewed tables of stone like the first, and I went up to the mountain, and the two tables were in my hand.
4 He wrote on the tablets, like the first writing, the Ten Commandments which Yahweh had spoken to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire on the day of the assembly; then Yahweh gave them to me.
And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing the ten commandments, which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire, and the Lord gave them to me.
5 I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark that I had made; there they are, as Yahweh commanded me.”
And I turned and came down from the mountain, and I put the tables into the ark which I had made; and there they were, as the Lord commanded me.
6 (The people of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; Eleazar, his son, served in the priest's office in his place.
And the children of Israel departed from Beeroth of the sons of Jakim [to] Misadai: there Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son was priest in his stead.
7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of streams of water.
Thence they departed to Gadgad; and from Gadgad to Etebatha, a land [wherein are] torrents of water.
8 At that time Yahweh chose the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to serve him, and to bless people in his name, as today.
At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand near before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name to this day.
9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance of land with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, as Yahweh your God spoke to him.)
Therefore the Levites have no part nor inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself [is] their inheritance, as he said to them.
10 “I stayed on the mountain as at the first time, forty days and forty nights. Yahweh listened to me that time also; Yahweh did not wish to destroy you.
And I remained in the mount forty days and forty nights: and the Lord heard me at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy you.
11 Yahweh said to me, 'Arise, go before the people to lead them on their journey; they will go in and possess the land that I swore to their ancestors to give to them.'
And the Lord said to me, Go, set out before this people, and let them go in and inherit the land, which I sware to their fathers to give to them.
12 Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, except to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to worship Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;
13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I am commanding you today for your own good?
to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his ordinances, all that I charge you today, that it may be well with you?
14 Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in them.
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord your God, the earth and all things that are in it.
15 Only Yahweh took pleasure in your fathers so as to love them, and he chose you, their descendants, after them, more than any of the other peoples, as he does today.
Only the Lord chose your fathers to love them, and he chose out their seed after them, [even] you, beyond all nations, as at this day.
16 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stubborn no longer.
Therefore you shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and you shall not harden your neck.
17 For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of masters, the great God, the mighty one and the fearsome one, who favors no one and takes no bribes.
For the Lord your God, he [is] God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great, and strong, and terrible God, who does not accept persons, nor will he by any means accept a bribe:
18 He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and he shows love for the foreigner by giving him food and clothing.
executing judgment for the stranger and orphan and widow, and he loves the stranger to give him food and raiment.
19 Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
And you shall love the stranger; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 You will fear Yahweh your God; him will you worship. To him you must cling, and by his name will you swear.
You shall fear the Lord your God, and serve him, and shall cleave to him, and shall swear by his name.
21 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and fearsome things, which your eyes have seen.
He [is] your boast, and he [is] your God, who has wrought in the midst of you these great and glorious things, which your eyes have seen.
22 Your fathers went down into Egypt as seventy persons; now Yahweh your God has made you as many as the stars of the heavens.
With seventy souls your fathers went down into Egypt; but the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.
