Deuteronomy
10:1-22 HCSB "The LORD said to me
at that time, 'Cut two stone tablets like the first ones and come to Me on the
mountain and make a wooden ark. 2
I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first
tablets you broke, and you are to place them in the ark.' 3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, cut
two stone tablets like the first ones, and climbed the mountain with the two
tablets in my hand. 4 Then,
on the day of the assembly, the LORD wrote on the tablets what had been written
previously, the Ten Commandments that He had spoken to you on the mountain from
the fire. The LORD gave them to me, 5 and I went back down the mountain and placed
the tablets in the ark I had made. And they have remained there, as the LORD
commanded me." 6 The
Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan
to Moserah. Aaron died and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his place. 7 They traveled from there to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water. 8 "At that time the LORD set apart the
tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the LORD's covenant, to stand before the LORD
to serve Him, and to bless in His name, as it is today. 9 For this reason, Levi does not have a
portion or inheritance like his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the
LORD your God told him. 10
"I stayed on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights like the
first time. The LORD also listened to me on this occasion; He agreed not to
annihilate you. 11 Then
the LORD said to me, 'Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, so
that they may enter and possess the land I swore to give their fathers.' 12 "And now, Israel, what does the LORD
your God ask of you except to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His
ways, to love Him, and to worship the LORD your God with all your heart and all
your soul? 13 Keep
the LORD's commands and statutes I am giving you today, for your own good. 14 The heavens, indeed the highest
heavens, belong to the LORD your God, as does the earth and everything in
it. 15 Yet
the LORD was devoted to your fathers and loved them. He chose their descendants
after them--He chose you out of all the peoples, as it is today. 16 Therefore, circumcise your hearts and
don't be stiff-necked any longer. 17
For the LORD your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords, the
great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and taking no bribe. 18 He executes justice for the fatherless
and the widow, and loves the foreign resident, giving him food and
clothing. 19 You
also must love the foreigner, since you were foreigners in the land of
Egypt. 20 You
are to fear the LORD your God and worship Him. Remain faithful to Him and take
oaths in His name. 21 He
is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome
works your eyes have seen. 22
Your fathers went down to Egypt, 70 people in all, and now the
LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars of the sky.
