1 In that time Jehovah said to me, Hew to thee two tables of stone as the first, and come up to me to the mount, and make to thee an ark of wood. “At that time the LORD said to me, ‘Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain and make an ark of wood. At that time the LORD said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark.
2 And I will write upon the tables the words which were upon the first tables which thou brakest, and put them in the ark. And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.’ I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”
3 And I will make the ark of acacia wood, and I will hew two tables of stone as the first, and I will go up to the mount and the two tables in my hands. So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. So I made the ark out of acacia wood and chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.
4 And he will write upon the tables according to the first writing, the ten words which Jehovah your God spake out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the gathering: and Jehovah will give them to me. And he wrote on the tablets, in the same writing as before, the Ten Commandments that the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly. And the LORD gave them to me. The LORD wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments he had proclaimed to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly. And the LORD gave them to me.
5 And I shall turn and come down from the mount, and shall put the tables in the ark which I made; and they shall be there as Jehovah commanded me. Then I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the ark that I had made. And there they are, as the LORD commanded me.” Then I came back down the mountain and put the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD commanded me, and they are there now.
6 And the sons of Israel removed from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan, to Moseroth: there Aaron died, and he will be buried there; and Eleazar his son will be priest in his stead. (The people of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried. And his son Eleazar ministered as priest in his place. (The Israelites traveled from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest.
7 From there they removed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbah, a land of torrents of water. From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with brooks of water. From there they traveled to Gudgodah and on to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.
8 In that time Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi, to lift up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to serve him, and to praise in his name, even to this day. At 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 minister to him and to bless in his name, to this day. At 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 minister and to pronounce blessings in his name, as they still do today.
9 For this, there was not to Levi a portion and an inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah, he is his inheritance, as Jehovah thy God spake to him. Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers. The LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God said to him.) That is why the Levites have no share or inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the LORD is their inheritance, as the LORD your God told them.)
10 And I stood in the mount according to the first days, forty days and forty nights; and Jehovah will hear to me also in this time; Jehovah was not willing to destroy thee. “I myself stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and the LORD listened to me that time also. The LORD was unwilling to destroy you. Now I had stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, as I did the first time, and the LORD listened to me at this time also. It was not his will to destroy you.
11 And Jehovah will say to me, Arise, go for removing before the people, and they shall come in and possess the land Which I sware to their fathers to give to them. And the LORD said to me, ‘Arise, go on your journey at the head of the people, so that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.’ “Go,” the LORD said to me, “and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”
12 And now, Israel, what does Jehovah thy God ask from thee but to fear Jehovah thy God, to go in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 To watch the commands of Jehovah and his laws which I command thee this day, to be good for thee? and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good? and to observe the LORD’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
14 Behold, to Jehovah thy God the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and all which is in it. Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
15 Only Jehovah delighted in thy fathers to love them, and he will choose in their seed after them in you above all peoples, as this day. Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. Yet the LORD set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today.

For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
18 He did the judgment of the orphan and the widow, and he loved the stranger to give to him bread and a garment. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.
19 And love ye the stranger, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.

22 With seventy souls thy fathers went down to Egypt; and now Jehovah set thee as the stain of the heavens for multitude. Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven. Your ancestors who went down into Egypt were seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.
