Deuteronomy 10

1 At that time the LORD said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you are to place them in the ark.”

3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.

4 And the LORD wrote on the tablets what had been written previously, the Ten Commandments that He had spoken to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly. The LORD gave them to me,

5 and I went back down the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD had commanded me; and there they have remained.

6 The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest.

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

8 At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as they do to this day.

9 That is why Levi has no portion or inheritance among his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God promised him.

10 I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, like the first time, and that time the LORD again listened to me and agreed not to destroy you.

11 Then the LORD said to me, “Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.”

12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?

14 Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it.

15 Yet the LORD has set His affection on your fathers and loved them. And He has chosen you, their descendants after them, above all the peoples, even to this day.

16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and stiffen your necks no more.

17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.

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

19 So you also must love the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

20 You are to fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name.

21 He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.

22 Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.

1 ¶ At that time the LORD 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 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 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 wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.

5 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 the LORD commanded me.

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

8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

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

10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, [and] the LORD would not destroy thee.

11 And the LORD 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 doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

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

15 Only the LORD 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 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

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

18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

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

20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; 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, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

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

1 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone, like unto the first, and come unto me into the mountain, and make thee a fine ark of wood,

2 Then will I write upon the tables the words that were upon the first which thou hast broken; and thou shalt put them in the ark.

3 So I made an ark of pine wood, and cut two tables of stone, as the first were, and went up into the mountain, and had the two tables in mine hands.

4 And he wrote upon the tables, as the first writing was, the ten words which the LORD spake unto you out of the fire of the mount in the time of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.

5 And I turned, and departed from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, that they might be there, as the LORD commanded me.

6 And the children of Israel went out from Beroth-bne-jakan unto Moser. And Aaron died there, and is buried there: and Eleazar his son was priest for him.

7 And they went out from thence unto Gudegodah; and from Gudegodah unto Jathbath, a land of rivers.

8 At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to stand before the LORD, to serve him, and to praise his name, unto this day.

9 Therefore the Levites shall have no part nor inheritance with their brethren: for the LORD is their inheritance, as the LORD thy God hath spoken unto them.

10 And I stood in the mount, as before, forty days and forty nights: and the LORD hearkened unto me that time also, and would not destroy thee.

11 And he said unto me, Arise, and go, that thou mayest go before the people, that they may come in and possess the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

12 Now therefore, O Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, and to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul?

13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee?

14 Behold, the heaven, and all the heavens, and the earth, and all that is therein, are the LORD thy God's.

15 Nor did he delight in thy fathers only, to love them, and to multiply their seed after them, even after you, above all nations, as it is this day.

16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be not stiffnecked henceforth.

17 For the LORD your God is a God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, mighty and terrible, esteeming no man, and taking no gift

18 And rendereth justice unto the fatherless and to the widow, and loveth the stranger, that he may give them meat and raiment.

19 Wherefore love ye also the strangers: for ye were strangers also in the land of Egypt.

20 The LORD thy God shalt thou fear, and him shalt thou serve, and him shalt thou cleave unto, and by his name shalt thou swear.

21 He is thy glory, and thy God, which hath done with thee such great and terrible things as thine eyes have seen.

22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy souls: but now the LORD thy God hath multiplied thee as the stars of heaven.
