005:010:001
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.

005:010:002
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.

005:010:003
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.

005:010:004
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.

005:010:005
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.

005:010:006
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.

005:010:007
From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah;
and from Gudgodah to Jotbath,
a land of rivers of waters.

005:010:008
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.

005:010:009
Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren;
the LORD is his inheritance,
according as the LORD thy God promised him.

005:010:010
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.

005:010:011
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.

005:010:012
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,

005:010:013
To keep the commandments of the LORD,
and his statutes,
which I command thee this day for thy good?

005:010:014
Behold,
the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God,
the earth also,
with all that therein is.

005:010:015
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.

005:010:016
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart,
and be no more stiffnecked.

005:010:017
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:

005:010:018
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow,
and loveth the stranger,
in giving him food and raiment.

005:010:019
Love ye therefore the stranger:
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

005:010:020
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God;
him shalt thou serve,
and to him shalt thou cleave,
and swear by his name.

005:010:021
He is thy praise,
and he is thy God,
that hath done for thee these great and terrible things,
which thine eyes have seen.

005:010:022
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.
