Chapter 10 |
| 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. |
