﻿Deuteronomy.
Chapter 10.
At that time the LORD said to me, ‘Cut for yourself two stone tablets like the first, come up to me on the mountain, and make for yourself an ark of wood. 
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.’ 
So I made an ark of acacia wood and cut two stone tablets like the first. I went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. 
He wrote on the tablets, as in the first writing, the Ten Commandments that the LORD had spoken to you at the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly. The LORD gave them to me. 
I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the ark I had made. There they remained, as the LORD had commanded me. 
(The Israelites set out from Beeroth-bene-jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died there and was buried there, and his son Eleazar served as priest in his place. 
From there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of streams of water. 
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 bless in his name, to this day. 
Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers. The LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God told him.) 
I stayed on the mountain as on the first days, forty days and forty nights. The LORD listened to me that time also. The LORD was unwilling to destroy you. 
The LORD said to me, ‘Rise and set out before the people, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their fathers to give them.’ 
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 
and to keep the LORD’s commandments and his statutes that I command you today for your good? 
Look, to the LORD your God belong the heavens and the heaven of heavens, the earth and all that is in it. 
Yet the LORD set his affection on your fathers to love them, and chose their descendants after them, you out of all the peoples, as it is this day. 
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no longer. 
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and fearsome God, who shows no partiality and takes no bribe. 
He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the resident foreigner, giving him bread and clothing. 
You shall love the resident foreigner, for you were resident foreigners in the land of Egypt. 
You shall fear the LORD your God. Him you shall serve, to him you shall hold fast, and by his name you shall swear. 
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and fearsome things that your eyes have seen. 
Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy people in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.
