Deuteronomy 10

CLV(i) 1 At that time Yahweh said to me:Carve for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones, and ascend to Me to the mountain. Also make for yourself a coffer of wood. 2 Then I shall write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and you will place them in the coffer. 3 So I made a coffer of acacia wood, carved two tablets of stone like the first ones and ascended to the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. 4 Then He wrote on the tablets, like the first writing, the ten words that Yahweh had spoken to you at the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and Yahweh gave them to me. 5 So I turned around and descended from the mountain and placed the tablets in the coffer that I had made, and there they came to be, just as Yahweh had instructed me. 6 (The sons of Israel journeyed from the wells of Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and he was entombed there; and Eleazar his son served as priest in his stead. 7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a country of watercourses with water. 8 At that time Yahweh separated the tribe of Levi to carry the coffer of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister to Him and to bless in His name until this day. 9 Therefore Levi came to have no portion or allotment with his brothers. Yahweh, He is his allotment, just as Yahweh your Elohim had spoken concerning him.. 10 As for me, I stayed on the mountain as on the first days, forty days and forty nights, and Yahweh hearkened to me also at that time:Yahweh would not bring ruin on you. 11 Then Yahweh said to me:Arise! Go on your journey before this people that they may enter and tenant the land about which I had sworn to their fathers to give to them. 12 And now, Israel, what is Yahweh your Elohim asking of you, save to fear Yahweh your Elohim, to walk in all His ways, to love Him and to serve Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 to observe the instructions of Yahweh your Elohim and His statutes that I am enjoining on you today for your good? 14 Behold, to Yahweh your Elohim belong the heavens and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and all that is in it. 15 But Yahweh was attached to your fathers to love them so that He chooses their seed after them, you, out of all the peoples, as it is this day. 16 Hence you will circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and you should no longer stiffen your neck. 17 For Yahweh your Elohim, He is the Elohim of elohim and the Lord of lords, the El, the great, the masterful and the fear-inspiring One, Who neither lifts up faces in partiality nor takes a bribe, 18 the One executing judgment of orphan and widow, the One loving the sojourner, so as to give him bread and garment. 19 You will love the sojourner, for you became sojourners in the country of Egypt. 20 Yahweh your Elohim shall you fear, and Him shall you serve; to Him shall you cling, and by His name shall you swear. 21 He is your praise, and He is your Elohim Who did for you these great and fear-inspiring deeds that your eyes saw. 22 With seventy souls your fathers went down to Egypt. Yet now Yahweh your Elohim has made you as the stars of the heavens for multitude.
