Deuteronomy 10:6-11
Lexham English Bible
6 “And the Israelites[a] journeyed from the wells of Bene-Yaqan to Moserah; there Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar, his son, served as a priest in place of him. 7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land flowing with streams of water. 8 At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to stand before[b] Yahweh, to serve him and to bless the people in his name until this day. 9 Therefore there was not[c] for Levi an allotment or an inheritance along with his brothers; rather Yahweh is his inheritance just as Yahweh your God promised[d] to him.
10 And I stayed on the mountain just as during the former forty days[e] and forty nights,[f] and Yahweh listened to me also on that occasion;[g] Yahweh was not willing to destroy you. 11 And Yahweh said to me, ‘Come, continue[h] your journey before the people, [i] so that you may go and take possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors[j] to give to them.’
