[1] At that time Yahweh said to me, Hew you two tables of stone like the
first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood. [2] I
will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you
broke, and you shall put them in the ark. [3] So I made an ark of acacia
wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up onto the
mountain, having the two tables in my hand. [4] He wrote on the tables,
according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yahweh spoke to
you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the
assembly: and Yahweh gave them to me. [5] I turned and came down from the
mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they
are as Yahweh commanded me. [6] (The children of Israel journeyed from
Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried;
and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest`s office in his place. [7]
From there they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a
land of brooks of water. [8] At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of
Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to
minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day. [9] Therefore Levi
has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his
inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.) [10] I stayed on
the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Yahweh
listened to me that time also; Yahweh would not destroy you. [11] Yahweh
said to me, Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go
in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
[12] Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear
Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve
Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, [13] to keep
the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day
for your good? [14] Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the
heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein. [15] Only Yahweh
had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after
them, even you above all peoples, as at this day. [16] Circumcise therefore
the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked. [17] For Yahweh
your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty,
and the awesome, who doesn`t regard persons, nor takes reward. [18] He does
execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner, in
giving him food and clothing. [19] Love you therefore the sojourner; for
you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. [20] You shall fear Yahweh your
God; him shall you serve; and to him shall you cleave, and by his name
shall you swear. [21] He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done
for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen. [22]
Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yahweh your
God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
