² ‘And I will write upon the tablets the words that were upon the first Tablets, which you broke. And you shall put them in the ark.

³ “And I made an ark out of shittim wood and hewed two tablets of stone, just like the first, and went up onto the mountain. And the two tablets were in my hand.

⁴ “Then He wrote upon the Tablets, according to the first writing (the Ten Commandments, which the LORD spoke to you on the mount, out of the midst of the fire, on the day of the assembly). And the LORD gave them to me.

⁵ “And I departed and came down from the mount and put the Tablets 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 (of the children of Jaakan) to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried. And Eleazar, his son, became Priest in his place.

⁷ “From there they departed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of running waters.

⁸ “At the same 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 to Him, and to bless in His Name, to this day.

⁹ “Therefore, Levi does not have the same inheritance as his brothers. The LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God has promised him.

¹⁰ “And I stayed on the mount, as at the first time, for forty days and forty nights. And the LORD also heard me at that time. The LORD would not destroy you.

¹¹ “But the LORD said to me, ‘Arise. Go forth in the journey, before the people, so that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers, to give to them.

¹² “And 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 “so that you keep the Commandments of the LORD and His Ordinances, which I command you this day, for your good?

¹⁴ “Behold, Heaven—the Heaven of heavens—and the Earth, with all that therein is, are the LORD your God’s,

¹⁵ “Notwithstanding, the LORD set His delight in your fathers, to love them. And He chose their seed after them, you above all people, as it is this day.

¹⁶ “Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart. And harden your necks no more.

¹⁷ “For the LORD your God is God of gods and LORD of Lords—a great God, mighty and terrible—Who accepts no persons, nor takes bribes,

¹⁸ “Who does right to the fatherless and widow and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.

²⁰ “You shall fear the LORD your God. You shall serve Him. And you shall cling to Him and shall swear by His Name.

²¹ “He is your praise. And He is your God, Who has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.

²² “Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy people. And now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of the heaven in multitude.”
