Deuteronomy 10

1 At that time Jehovah said unto me, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, and make thee an ark of wood;

At that time the LORD said to me, "Cut two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2 and I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt lay them in the ark.

I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark."

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

So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.

4 And he wrote on the tables, as the first writing, the ten words which Jehovah spoke unto you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire, on the day of the assembly, and Jehovah gave them unto me.

He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them to me.

5 And I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; — and they are there, as Jehovah commanded me.

I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the LORD commanded me.

6 (And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth-Bene-Jaakan to Moserah: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son exercised the priesthood in his stead.

(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.

7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of water-brooks.)

From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

8 At that time Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to do service unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear 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.

9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God told him.

Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD your God spoke to him.)

10 But I stood upon the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights; and Jehovah listened unto me also at that time: Jehovah would not destroy thee.

I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and the LORD listened to me that time also, and the LORD would not destroy you.

11 And Jehovah said unto me, Rise up, take thy journey before the people, that they may enter in and possess the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give unto them.

The LORD 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."

12 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,

Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, for thy good?

to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?

14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to Jehovah thy God; the earth and all that is therein.

Look, to the LORD your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.

15 Only, Jehovah took pleasure in thy fathers, to love them, and he chose their seed after them, [even] you, out of all the peoples, as it is this day.

Only the LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their descendants after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.

16 Circumcise then the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no more.

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

17 For Jehovah your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty and the terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward;

For the LORD your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn't respect persons, nor takes reward.

18 who executeth the judgment of the fatherless and the widow, and loveth the stranger, to give him food and clothing.

He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.

19 And ye shall love the stranger; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

20 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; him thou shalt serve, and unto him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve him; and you shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, who hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine 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.

22 With seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt; and now Jehovah thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
