Deuteronomium 10
Het Boek
Herinnering aan de Tien Geboden
10 ‘Toen droeg de Here mij op twee stenen plaquettes te maken, gelijk aan de eerste twee en daarna een houten ark te bouwen om ze in te bewaren en vervolgens terug te keren naar God op de berg. 2 Hij zei dat Hij op dit tweede paar plaquettes opnieuw de geboden zou schrijven die op het eerste paar stonden dat ik kapot had gegooid. Ik moest de nieuwe plaquettes in de ark opbergen. 3 Zo maakte ik een ark van acaciahout en hakte twee nieuwe stenen plaquettes uit, gelijk aan de eerste twee en nam die mee de berg op. 4 De Here schreef de Tien Geboden opnieuw op de plaquettes en gaf ze mij. (Het waren dezelfde geboden die Hij u gaf vanuit het midden van het vuur op de berg, terwijl u aan de voet van de berg toekeek).
5 Toen ging ik weer naar beneden en plaatste de plaquettes in de ark die ik had gemaakt. Zij bevinden zich daar nu nog, precies zoals de Here mij opdroeg. 6 Het volk Israël reisde toen van de bronnen van Bene-Jaäkan naar Mosera, waar Aäron stierf en werd begraven. Zijn zoon Eleazar volgde hem op als priester. 7 Toen reisden wij naar Gudgod en vandaar naar Jotbata, een waterrijke streek.
8 Op die plaats koos de Here de stam Levi uit om de ark van het verbond te dragen, om voor Hem dienst te doen en in zijn naam te zegenen, zoals dat momenteel wordt gedaan. 9 Daarom heeft de stam Levi geen eigen deel van het beloofde land, zoals zijn broederstammen. Want de Here is Zelf zijn erfdeel.
10 Ook ditmaal bleef ik veertig dagen en nachten voor de Here op de berg, net zoals de eerste keer en ook deze keer luisterde de Here naar mijn smeekbeden en vernietigde u niet. 11 Maar Hij zei tegen mij: “Sta op, ga voor het volk uit naar het land dat Ik zijn vaders beloofde. Het is tijd om er binnen te trekken en het in bezit te nemen.”
12,13 En nu, Israël, wat verlangt de Here, uw God, anders van u dan dat u met eerbied en ontzag luistert naar alles wat Hij zegt. Dat u voor uw eigen bestwil de geboden die ik u vandaag geef, gehoorzaamt en dat u van Hem houdt en Hem dient met heel uw hart en ziel? 14 Alle hemelen behoren toe aan de Here, uw God, ook de aarde met alles wat daarbij hoort. 15 Hij koos uw voorouders uit en hield zoveel van hen dat Hij u, hun kinderen, boven elk ander volk stelde. 16 Besnijd daarom uw harten, reinig u van zonde, en wees niet langer koppig. 17 De Here, uw God, is God boven alle goden en Heer boven alle heren. Hij is de grote en machtige God, de ontzagwekkende God, die onpartijdig is en Zich niet laat omkopen. 18 Hij verschaft recht aan weduwe en wees. Hij heeft vreemdelingen lief en geeft hun voedsel en kleding. 19 Daarom moet ook u van vreemdelingen houden, want u was zelf ooit vreemdeling in het land Egypte. 20 U moet ontzag hebben voor de Here, uw God, en Hem aanbidden. Houd u aan Hem vast en zweer alleen bij zijn naam. 21 Geef Hem alle eer, Hij is uw God, degene die machtige wonderen heeft gedaan, die u zelf hebt gezien. 22 Toen uw voorouders naar Egypte trokken, waren zij maar met zeventig personen, maar de Here, uw God, heeft u nu zo talrijk gemaakt als de sterren aan de hemel!’
Deuteronomy 10
New International Version
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] 2 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)
3 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. 4 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. 5 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)
6 (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) 7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah and on to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.(P) 8 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) 9 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)

Deuteronomy 10
King James Version
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.
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,
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.
