Deuteronomy 10:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸ At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to stand before^[a] Yahweh, to serve him and to bless the people in his name until this day. ⁹ Therefore there was not^[b] for Levi an allotment or an inheritance along with his brothers; rather Yahweh is his inheritance just as Yahweh your God promised^[c] to him.

¹⁰ And I stayed on the mountain just as during the former forty days^[d] and forty nights,^[e] and Yahweh listened to me also on that occasion;^[f] Yahweh was not willing to destroy you.
