King James VersionDeuteronomy10

Deuteronomy

1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 From thence they jour­neyed unto Gud­go­dah; and from Gud­go­dah to Jot­bath, a land of rivers of wa­ters. 8 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. 9 Where­fore Levi hath no part nor in­her­i­tance with his brethren; the LORD is his in­her­i­tance, ac­cord­ing as the LORD thy God promised him. 10 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. 11 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. 12 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, 13 To keep the com­mand­ments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I com­mand thee this day for thy good? 14 Be­hold, the heav­en and the heav­en of heav­ens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that there­in is. 15 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. 16 Cir­cum­cise there­fore the fore­skin of your heart, and be no more stiff­necked. 17 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: 18 He doth ex­e­cute the judg­ment of the fa­ther­less and wid­ow, and loveth the stranger, in giv­ing him food and rai­ment. 19 Love ye there­fore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. 21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and ter­ri­ble things, which thine eyes have seen. 22 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.
