Deuteronomy 10:1-8 ▼

1 At that time, YHWH said to me, “Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain, and make yourself an ark of wood.

2 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.”

3 And I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, and the two tablets were in my hand.

4 And He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the Ten Words that YHWH had spoken to you? in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. And YHWH gave them to me.

5 And I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark that I had made. And they are there, as YHWH commanded me.

6 And the sons of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died, and he was buried there. And Eleazar his son acted as priest in his stead.

7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of rivers of water.

8 At that time YHWH separated the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of YHWH, to stand before the face of YHWH to minister to Him, and to bless in His name, to this day.
