Deuteronomy 10
English Standard Version
New Tablets of Stone
10 “At that time the Lord said to me, (A)‘Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain and (B)make an ark of wood. 2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and (C)you shall put them in the ark.’ 3 So I made an ark (D)of acacia wood, and (E)cut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. 4 And (F)he wrote on the tablets, in the same writing as before, the Ten Commandments[a] (G)that the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire (H)on the day of the assembly. And the Lord gave them to me. 5 Then I turned and (I)came down from the mountain and (J)put the tablets in the ark that I had made. (K)And there they are, as the Lord commanded me.”
6 (The people of Israel (L)journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan[b] to Moserah. (M)There Aaron died, and there he was buried. And his son Eleazar ministered as priest in his place. 7 (N)From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with brooks of water. 8 At that time (O)the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi (P)to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord (Q)to stand before the Lord to minister to him and (R)to bless in his name, to this day. 9 (S)Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers. The Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God said to him.)
10 (T)“I myself stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, (U)and the Lord listened to me that time also. The Lord was unwilling to destroy you. 11 (V)And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, go on your journey at the head of the people, so that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.’
Circumcise Your Heart
12 “And now, Israel, (W)what does the Lord your God require of you, but (X)to fear the Lord your God, (Y)to walk in all his ways, (Z)to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and (AA)to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today (AB)for your good? 14 Behold, (AC)to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, (AD)the earth with all that is in it. 15 Yet (AE)the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. 16 Circumcise therefore (AF)the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer (AG)stubborn. 17 For the Lord your God is (AH)God of gods and (AI)Lord of lords, (AJ)the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is (AK)not partial and takes no bribe. 18 (AL)He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. 19 (AM)Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 20 (AN)You shall fear the Lord your God. You shall serve him and (AO)hold fast to him, and (AP)by his name you shall swear. 21 (AQ)He is your praise. He is your God, (AR)who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen. 22 Your fathers went down to Egypt (AS)seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you (AT)as numerous as the stars of heaven.

Las nuevas tablas de la ley
10 »En aquel tiempo el Señor me dijo: “Talla dos tablas de piedra iguales a las primeras, y haz un arca de madera; después de eso, sube a la montaña para encontrarte conmigo. 2 Yo escribiré en esas tablas las mismas palabras que estaban escritas en las primeras, y después las guardarás en el arca”.
3 »Hice, pues, el arca de madera de acacia, y tallé dos tablas de piedra como las primeras; luego subí a la montaña llevando en las manos las dos tablas. 4 En esas tablas, que luego me entregó, el Señor escribió lo mismo que había escrito antes, es decir, los diez mandamientos que os dio a vosotros el día en que estábamos todos reunidos en asamblea, cuando habló desde el fuego en la montaña. 5 En seguida bajé de la montaña y guardé las tablas en el arca que había hecho. Y allí permanecen, tal como me lo ordenó el Señor».
Ministerio de los levitas
6 Después los israelitas se trasladaron de los pozos de Berot Bené Yacán a Moserá. Allí murió Aarón y fue sepultado, y su hijo Eleazar le sucedió en el sacerdocio. 7 De allí se fueron a Gudgoda, y siguieron hasta Jotbata, tierra con abundantes corrientes de agua. 8 En aquel tiempo el Señor designó la tribu de Leví para llevar el arca del pacto y estar en su presencia, y para ministrar y pronunciar bendiciones en su nombre, como hasta hoy lo hace. 9 Por eso los levitas no tienen patrimonio alguno entre sus hermanos, pues el Señor es su herencia, como él mismo lo ha declarado.
Las demandas del Señor
10 «Yo me quedé en la montaña cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, como hice la primera vez, y también esta vez el Señor me escuchó. Como no era su voluntad destruiros, 11 el Señor me dijo: “Ve y guía al pueblo en su camino, para que entren y tomen posesión de la tierra que juré a sus antepasados que les daría”.
12 »Y ahora, Israel, ¿qué te pide el Señor tu Dios? Simplemente que le temas y andes en todos sus caminos, que lo ames y le sirvas con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma, 13 y que cumplas los mandamientos y los preceptos que hoy te manda cumplir, para que te vaya bien.
14 »Al Señor tu Dios le pertenecen los cielos y lo más alto de los cielos, la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella. 15 Sin embargo, él se encariñó con tus antepasados y los amó; y a ti, que eres su descendencia, te eligió de entre todos los pueblos, como vemos hoy. 16 Por eso, despójate de lo pagano que hay en tu corazón,[a] y ya no seas terco. 17 Porque el Señor tu Dios es Dios de dioses y Señor de señores; él es el gran Dios, poderoso y terrible, que no actúa con parcialidad ni acepta sobornos. 18 Él defiende la causa del huérfano y de la viuda, y muestra su amor por el extranjero, proveyéndole ropa y alimentos. 19 Así mismo debes tú mostrar amor por los extranjeros, porque también tú fuiste extranjero en Egipto. 20 Teme al Señor tu Dios y sírvele. Aférrate a él y jura solo por su nombre. 21 Él es el motivo de tu alabanza; él es tu Dios, el que hizo en tu favor las grandes y maravillosas hazañas que tú mismo presenciaste. 22 Setenta eran los antepasados tuyos que bajaron a Egipto, y ahora el Señor tu Dios te ha hecho un pueblo tan numeroso como las estrellas del cielo.

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)
