Chapter 10

At that time the LORD said¹ unto me, Hew³ thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up³ unto me into the mount, and make¹ thee an ark of wood.

And I will write⁴ on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest,¹⁴ and thou shalt put¹ them in the ark.

And I made⁴ an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed⁴ two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up⁴ into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.

And he wrote⁴ on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake¹⁴ unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave⁴ them unto me.

And I turned⁴ myself and came down⁴ from the mount, and put⁴ the tables in the ark which I had made;¹ and there they be, as the LORD commanded¹⁴ me.

And the children of Israel took their journey¹ from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died,¹ and there he was buried;¹¹ and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office¹⁷ in his stead.

From thence they journeyed¹ unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

At that time the LORD separated⁵² the tribe of Levi, to bear² the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand² before the LORD to minister¹⁵ unto him, and to bless¹⁵ in his name, unto this day.

Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised¹⁴ him.

And I stayed¹ in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened⁴ unto me at that time also, [and] the LORD would¹ not destroy⁵³ thee.

And the LORD said⁴ unto me, Arise,³ take³ [thy] journey before the people, that they may go in⁴ and possess⁴ the land, which I sware⁸ unto their fathers to give² unto them.

And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require⁶ of thee, but to fear² the LORD thy God, to walk² in all his ways, and to love² him, and to serve² the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

To keep² the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command¹⁸ thee this day for thy good?

Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].

Only the LORD had a delight¹ in thy fathers to love² them, and he chose⁴ their seed after them, [even] you above all people, as [it is] this day.

Circumcise¹ therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. ^{7185 55}

For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible,¹² which regardeth⁴ not persons, nor taketh⁴ reward:

He doth execute⁶ the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth⁶ the stranger, in giving² him food and raiment.

Love¹ ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Thou shalt fear⁴ the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve,⁴ and to him shalt thou cleave,⁴ and swear¹¹ by his name.

He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath done¹ for thee these great and terrible¹² things, which thine eyes have seen.¹

Thy fathers went down¹ into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made¹ thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
