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,
Deut 6:5
Matt 22:37
Mark 12:30
Luke 10:27
|
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. |
