Chapter 10 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.
And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou
breakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
And I made an ark of shittum wood, and hewed two tables of stone,
like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.
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.
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.
And the children of Israel took their journey from Beoroth, of the children of
Jaachim, to Moserah.
There Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eliezer his son ministered in the
priest's office in his stead.
From thence they journeyed unto Gododa, and from Gododa to Jotbath, a land of
rivers of waters.
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.
Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren.
The Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God promised him.
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.
And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people,
that they may go in and possess the land, which I swear unto their fathers to give
unto them.
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?
To keep the commandments of the Lord and his statutes, which I command 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 delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed
after them, even you, above all people, as it is this day.
Circumcise, therefore, the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
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.
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the
stranger in giving him food and raiment.
Love ye, therefore, the stranger, for ye were strangers in the land of
Egypt.
Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt
thou cleave and swear by his name.
He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and
terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
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.
