Chapter 10
1 At that time Yahweh said to me , " Cut two stone tablets like the first , and come up to me onto the mountain , and make an ark of wood .
2 I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke , and you shall put them in the ark."
3 So I made an ark of acacia wood , and cut two stone tablets like the first , and went up onto the mountain , having the two tablets in my hand .
4 He wrote on the tablets , according to the first writing , the ten commandments , which Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly ; and Yahweh gave them to me .
5 I turned and came down from the mountain , and put the tablets in the ark which I had made ; and there they are as Yahweh commanded me .
6 ( The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah . There Aaron died , and there he was buried ; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest ’s office in his place .
7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah ; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah , a land of brooks of water .
8 At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of Yahweh ’s covenant , to stand before Yahweh to minister to him , and to bless in his name , to this day .
9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance , according as Yahweh your God spoke to him .)
10 I stayed on the mountain , as at the first time , forty days and forty nights ; and Yahweh listened to me that time also . Yahweh would not destroy you .
11 Yahweh said to me , " Arise , take your journey before the people ; and they shall go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them ."
12 Now , Israel , what does Yahweh your God require of you , but to fear Yahweh your God , to walk in all his ways , to love him , and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul ,
13 to keep Yahweh ’s commandments and statutes , which I command you today for your good ?
14 Behold , to Yahweh your God belongs heaven , the heaven of heavens , and the earth , with all that is therein.
15 Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them , and he chose their offspring after them , even you above all peoples , as it is today .
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart , and be no more stiff-necked.
17 For Yahweh your God , he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God , the mighty , and the awesome , who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes .
18 He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing .
19 Therefore love the foreigner , for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt .
20 You shall fear Yahweh your God . You shall serve him . You shall cling to him , and you shall swear by his name .
21 He is your praise , and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen .
22 Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons ; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude .
