Deuteronomy 10:1-22 — New Tablets of Stone; What God Requires

Deut.10.1-22

¹At that time Yahweh said to me, “Cut out for yourself two stone tablets like the first tablets, and come up to me on the mountain, and make for yourself an Ark of wood. ²And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke, and you shall put them in the Ark.” ³So I made an Ark of acacia wood, cut out two stone tablets like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. ⁴And he wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments that Yahweh had spoken to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and Yahweh gave them to me. ⁵Then I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the Ark that I had made, and they remain there, as Yahweh commanded me. ⁶(Now the children of Israel set out from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son served as priest in his place. ⁷From there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of streams of water. ⁸At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, as it is to this day. ⁹Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, as Yahweh your God spoke concerning him.) ¹⁰I myself stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and Yahweh listened to me that time also; Yahweh was not willing to destroy you. ¹¹And Yahweh said to me, “Rise, set out before the people, so that they may go in and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.” ¹²And now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God ask of you but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, ¹³to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding you today for your good? ¹⁴Behold, to Yahweh your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth, and all that is in it. ¹⁵Yet Yahweh set his affection on your fathers to love them, and he chose their offspring after them—you, out of all peoples, as at this day. ¹⁶So circumcise the foreskin of your heart , and stiffen your neck no longer. ¹⁷For Yahweh your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, who shows no partiality and takes no bribe. ¹⁸He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. ¹⁹So you shall love the sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. ²⁰You shall fear Yahweh your God; him you shall serve; to him you shall cling; and by his name you shall swear. ²¹He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things that your eyes have seen. ²²Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy persons in all, and now Yahweh your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.
