< Deuteronomy 10 >

1 '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,
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 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;
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 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.
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 '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,
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 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.
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 '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;
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 thence they journeyed 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 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,
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 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.
Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; YHWH is his inheritance, according as YHWH thy Elohim promised him.
10 '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.
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 '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.
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 '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,
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 commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee?
To keep the commandments of YHWH, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14 'Lo, to Jehovah thy God [are] the heavens and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and 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 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;
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 and ye have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and your neck ye do not harden any more;
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
17 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;
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 is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give to him bread and raiment.
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 'And ye have loved the sojourner, for sojourners ye were in the land of Egypt.
Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 'Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, Him thou dost serve, and to Him thou dost cleave, and by His name thou dost swear.
Thou shalt fear YHWH thy Elohim; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
21 He [is] thy praise, and He [is] thy God, who hath done with thee these great and fearful [things] which thine 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 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.
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.
