Deuteronomy 10

1At that time the LORD said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.At that time Yahweh said to me, “Cut two stone tablets like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.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.At that time Jehovah 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. 2And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you are to place them in the ark.”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.”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.And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 3So I made an ark of acacia wood, chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.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.So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in my hand. 4And the LORD wrote on the tablets what had been written previously, the Ten Commandments that He had spoken to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly. The LORD gave them to me,He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly; and Yahweh gave them to me.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.And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Jehovah spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Jehovah gave them unto me. 5and I went back down the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD had commanded me; and there they have remained.I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Yahweh commanded me.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.And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Jehovah commanded me. 6The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest.(The children of Israel traveled 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.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.(And 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 stead. 7From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. 8At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as they do to this day.At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.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.At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. 9That is why Levi has no portion or inheritance among his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God promised him.Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.)Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God promised him.Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spake unto him.) 10I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, like the first time, and that time the LORD again listened to me and agreed not to destroy you.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.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.And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also; Jehovah would not destroy thee. 11Then the LORD said to me, “Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.”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.”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.And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them. 12And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require 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,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,And now, Israel, what doth Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 13and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?to keep Yahweh’s commandments and statutes, which I command you today for your good?To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? 14Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it.Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein.Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.Behold, unto Jehovah thy God belongeth heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein. 15Yet the LORD has set His affection on your fathers and loved them. And He has chosen you, their descendants after them, above all the peoples, even to this day.Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today.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.Only Jehovah had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day. 16Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and stiffen your necks no more.Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. 17For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.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:For Jehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward. 18He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and He loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing.He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.He doth execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loveth the sojourner, in giving him food and raiment. 19So you also must love the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.Therefore love the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.Love ye therefore the sojourner; for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 20You are to fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name.You shall fear Yahweh your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; him shalt thou serve; and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear. 21He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. 22Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.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.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.Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now Jehovah thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
