¹ At that time Yahweh said to me, Cut out for yourself two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me into the mount, and make you an ark of wood.² And 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 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone like the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in my hand.⁴ And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yahweh spoke to you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Yahweh gave them to me.⁵ 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 Yahweh commanded me.⁶ (And the sons of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son served in the priest's office in his stead.⁷ From there they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.⁸ At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.⁹ Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.)¹⁰ And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Yahweh listened to me that time also; Yahweh would not destroy you.¹¹ And 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.

¹² And now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,¹³ to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?¹⁴ Look, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.¹⁵ Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.¹⁶ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and don't be stiff-necked anymore.¹⁷ For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who does not regard persons, nor takes reward.¹⁸ He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner, in giving him food and raiment.¹⁹ Love therefore the sojourner; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.²⁰ You shall fear Yahweh your God; him you shall serve; and to him you shall cleave, and by his name you shall swear.²¹ He is your praise, and he is your God, that has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.²² Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude.
