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 brakest
, and thou shalt put
them in the ark
.
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
.
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 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.
From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah
; and from Gudgodah
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 sware
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 stiffnecked
.
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
.
