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. |
