Deuteronomy 10:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ The Lord promised that he would always provide for the tribe of Levi, and that's why he won't give them any land, when he divides it among the other tribes.

The Lord Answered the Prayers of Moses

(Exodus 34.9,10,27-29)

Moses said to Israel:

^10 (A) When I had taken the second set of stones up the mountain, I spent 40 days and nights there, just as I had done before. Once again, the Lord answered my prayer and did not destroy you. ¹¹ Instead, he told me, “Moses, get ready to lead the people into the land that I promised their ancestors.”^[a]
