摩西重新接受誡命

10 「當時耶和華對我說,『你要鑿兩塊石版,與前兩塊一樣,也要做一個木櫃,然後上山來見我。 我要把你摔碎的那兩塊石版上的話重新寫在你鑿的石版上。你要把它們放在櫃子裡。』 於是,我用皂莢木做了一個櫃子,又鑿了兩塊石版,與前兩塊石版一樣,然後帶著石版上了山。 耶和華把你們在山腳下聚會時祂在山上的火焰中向你們頒佈的十條誡命,重新刻在石版上,並把石版交給我。 我下山後,遵照耶和華的吩咐把石版放在我做的櫃子裡。現在石版仍放在那裡。

「我們從亞干人的井[a]出發,來到摩西拉。亞倫死在那裡,並葬在那裡,他兒子以利亞撒接替他做大祭司。 我們從那裡走到谷歌大,又走到溪流之鄉約巴他。 那時,耶和華把利未支派分別出來,派他們抬祂的約櫃,站立在祂面前事奉祂,奉祂的名祝福,至今未變。 因此,利未人在眾支派中沒有分到土地作產業,耶和華是他們的產業,這是你們的上帝耶和華對他們的應許。

10 「和前一次一樣,我又在山上待了四十晝夜,耶和華又聽了我的祈求,答應不毀滅你們。 11 耶和華對我說,『起來,帶他們走吧,去佔領我起誓賜給他們祖先的土地。』

耶和華的要求

12 「以色列人啊,你們的上帝耶和華對你們有何要求?無非要你們敬畏祂,遵行祂的旨意,愛祂,全心全意地事奉祂, 13 遵守祂的誡命和律例。我今天把這些誡命和律例賜給你們,是為了你們的益處。 14 看啊,諸天、大地和萬物都屬於你們的上帝耶和華。 15 但耶和華只喜愛你們的祖先,從萬族中揀選了他們的後裔——你們,正如今日的情形。 16 所以,你們要洗心革面,不可再頑固不化。 17 你們的上帝耶和華是萬神之神、萬主之主,是偉大、全能、可畏的上帝。祂不徇情面,不受賄賂; 18 祂為孤兒寡婦主持公道,關愛寄居者,供給他們衣食。 19 所以,你們要愛寄居者,因為你們也曾寄居埃及。 20 你們要敬畏你們的上帝耶和華,事奉祂,倚靠祂,憑祂的名起誓。 21 你們要讚美祂,祂是你們的上帝,你們親眼目睹了祂為你們做的偉大而可畏的事。 22 當年你們祖先下埃及時,只有七十人,現在你們的上帝耶和華使你們多如天上的星辰。

摩西重新接受诫命

10 “当时耶和华对我说,‘你要凿两块石版,与前两块一样,也要做一个木柜,然后上山来见我。 我要把你摔碎的那两块石版上的话重新写在你凿的石版上。你要把它们放在柜子里。’ 于是,我用皂荚木做了一个柜子,又凿了两块石版,与前两块石版一样,然后带着石版上了山。 耶和华把你们在山脚下聚会时祂在山上的火焰中向你们颁布的十条诫命,重新刻在石版上,并把石版交给我。 我下山后,遵照耶和华的吩咐把石版放在我做的柜子里。现在石版仍放在那里。

“我们从亚干人的井[a]出发,来到摩西拉。亚伦死在那里,并葬在那里,他儿子以利亚撒接替他做大祭司。 我们从那里走到谷歌大,又走到溪流之乡约巴他。 那时,耶和华把利未支派分别出来,派他们抬祂的约柜,站立在祂面前事奉祂,奉祂的名祝福,至今未变。 因此,利未人在众支派中没有分到土地作产业,耶和华是他们的产业,这是你们的上帝耶和华对他们的应许。

10 “和前一次一样,我又在山上待了四十昼夜,耶和华又听了我的祈求,答应不毁灭你们。 11 耶和华对我说,‘起来,带他们走吧,去占领我起誓赐给他们祖先的土地。’

耶和华的要求

12 “以色列人啊,你们的上帝耶和华对你们有何要求?无非要你们敬畏祂,遵行祂的旨意,爱祂,全心全意地事奉祂, 13 遵守祂的诫命和律例。我今天把这些诫命和律例赐给你们,是为了你们的益处。 14 看啊,诸天、大地和万物都属于你们的上帝耶和华。 15 但耶和华只喜爱你们的祖先,从万族中拣选了他们的后裔——你们,正如今日的情形。 16 所以,你们要洗心革面,不可再顽固不化。 17 你们的上帝耶和华是万神之神、万主之主,是伟大、全能、可畏的上帝。祂不徇情面,不受贿赂; 18 祂为孤儿寡妇主持公道,关爱寄居者,供给他们衣食。 19 所以,你们要爱寄居者,因为你们也曾寄居埃及。 20 你们要敬畏你们的上帝耶和华,事奉祂,倚靠祂,凭祂的名起誓。 21 你们要赞美祂,祂是你们的上帝,你们亲眼目睹了祂为你们做的伟大而可畏的事。 22 当年你们祖先下埃及时,只有七十人,现在你们的上帝耶和华使你们多如天上的星辰。

  1. 10:6 亚干人的井”或译“比罗比尼·亚干”或“比尼亚干井”。

Tablets Like the First Ones

10 At that time the Lord said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets(A) like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark.[a] I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”(B)

So I made the ark out of acacia wood(C) and chiseled(D) out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments(E) he had proclaimed(F) to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.(G) And the Lord gave them to me. Then I came back down the mountain(H) and put the tablets in the ark(I) I had made,(J) as the Lord commanded me, and they are there now.(K)

(The Israelites traveled from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah.(L) There Aaron died(M) and was buried, and Eleazar(N) his son succeeded him as priest.(O) From there they traveled to Gudgodah and on to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.(P) At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi(Q) to carry the ark of the covenant(R) of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister(S) and to pronounce blessings(T) in his name, as they still do today.(U) That is why the Levites have no share or inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance,(V) as the Lord your God told them.)

10 Now I had stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, as I did the first time, and the Lord listened to me at this time also. It was not his will to destroy you.(W) 11 “Go,” the Lord said to me, “and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”

Fear the Lord

12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you(X) but to fear(Y) the Lord your God, to walk(Z) in obedience to him, to love him,(AA) to serve the Lord(AB) your God with all your heart(AC) and with all your soul,(AD) 13 and to observe the Lord’s commands(AE) and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?(AF)

14 To the Lord your God belong the heavens,(AG) even the highest heavens,(AH) the earth and everything in it.(AI) 15 Yet the Lord set his affection on your ancestors and loved(AJ) them, and he chose you,(AK) their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today.(AL) 16 Circumcise(AM) your hearts,(AN) therefore, and do not be stiff-necked(AO) any longer. 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods(AP) and Lord of lords,(AQ) the great God, mighty and awesome,(AR) who shows no partiality(AS) and accepts no bribes.(AT) 18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow,(AU) and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.(AV) 19 And you are to love(AW) those who are foreigners,(AX) for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.(AY) 20 Fear the Lord your God and serve him.(AZ) Hold fast(BA) to him and take your oaths in his name.(BB) 21 He is the one you praise;(BC) he is your God, who performed for you those great(BD) and awesome wonders(BE) you saw with your own eyes. 22 Your ancestors who went down into Egypt were seventy in all,(BF) and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.(BG)

  1. Deuteronomy 10:1 That is, a chest

10 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The Second Pair of Tablets(A)

10 “At that time the Lord said to me, [a]‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain and make yourself an (B)ark of wood. And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and (C)you shall put them in the ark.’

“So I made an ark of acacia wood, hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand. And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten [b]Commandments, (D)which the Lord had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me. Then I turned and (E)came down from the mountain, and (F)put the tablets in the ark which I had made; (G)and there they are, just as the Lord commanded me.”

(Now the children of Israel journeyed from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron (H)died, and where he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his [c]stead. (I)From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of [d]rivers of water. At that time (J)the Lord [e]separated the tribe of Levi (K)to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, (L)to stand before the Lord to minister to Him and (M)to bless in His name, to this day. (N)Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the Lord your God promised him.)

10 “As at the first time, (O)I stayed in the mountain forty days and forty nights; (P)the Lord also heard me at that time, and the Lord chose not to destroy you. 11 (Q)Then the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, begin your journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.’

The Essence of the Law

12 “And now, Israel, (R)what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to (S)love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today (T)for your [f]good? 14 Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the (U)Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it. 15 The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their [g]descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day. 16 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your (V)heart, and be (W)stiff-necked[h] no longer. 17 For the Lord your God is (X)God of gods and (Y)Lord of lords, the great God, (Z)mighty and awesome, who (AA)shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. 18 (AB)He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. 19 Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20 (AC)You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name. 21 He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen. 22 Your fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.
