Deuteronomy 10
World English Bible
10 At that time Yahweh said to me, “Cut two stone tablets like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood. 2 I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.” 3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand. 4 He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly; and Yahweh gave them to me. 5 I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Yahweh commanded me.
6 (The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place. 7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. 8 At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day. 9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.)
10 I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights; and Yahweh listened to me that time also. Yahweh would not destroy you. 11 Yahweh said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.”
12 Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 to keep Yahweh’s commandments and statutes, which I command you today for your good? 14 Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein. 15 Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today. 16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked. 17 For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes. 18 He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing. 19 Therefore love the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. 20 You shall fear Yahweh your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name. 21 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen. 22 Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
Deuteronomy 10
New King James Version
The Second Pair of Tablets(A)
10 “At that time the Lord said to me, [a]‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain and make yourself an (B)ark of wood. 2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and (C)you shall put them in the ark.’
3 “So I made an ark of acacia wood, hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand. 4 And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten [b]Commandments, (D)which the Lord had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me. 5 Then I turned and (E)came down from the mountain, and (F)put the tablets in the ark which I had made; (G)and there they are, just as the Lord commanded me.”
6 (Now the children of Israel journeyed from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron (H)died, and where he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his [c]stead. 7 (I)From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of [d]rivers of water. 8 At that time (J)the Lord [e]separated the tribe of Levi (K)to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, (L)to stand before the Lord to minister to Him and (M)to bless in His name, to this day. 9 (N)Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the Lord your God promised him.)
10 “As at the first time, (O)I stayed in the mountain forty days and forty nights; (P)the Lord also heard me at that time, and the Lord chose not to destroy you. 11 (Q)Then the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, begin your journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.’
The Essence of the Law
12 “And now, Israel, (R)what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to (S)love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today (T)for your [f]good? 14 Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the (U)Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it. 15 The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their [g]descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day. 16 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your (V)heart, and be (W)stiff-necked[h] no longer. 17 For the Lord your God is (X)God of gods and (Y)Lord of lords, the great God, (Z)mighty and awesome, who (AA)shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. 18 (AB)He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. 19 Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20 (AC)You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name. 21 He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen. 22 Your fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.

De nya stentavlorna
10 (A) På den tiden sade Herren till mig: ”Hugg ut åt dig två stentavlor, likadana som de förra, och kom upp till mig på berget. Du ska också göra dig en ark av trä. 2 (B) Och jag ska skriva på tavlorna de ord som stod på de första tavlorna, dem som du slog sönder, och du ska lägga dem i arken.”
3 Jag gjorde en ark av akacieträ och högg ut två stentavlor likadana som de förra. Och jag gick upp på berget och hade med mig de båda tavlorna. 4 Han skrev på tavlorna detsamma som var skrivet förra gången: de tio orden som Herren hade talat till er på berget ur elden den dag då ni var samlade där. Och Herren gav dem åt mig. 5 Sedan vände jag om och gick ner från berget och lade tavlorna i arken som jag hade gjort, och där fick de ligga, så som Herren hade befallt mig.
Arons död
6 (C) Israels barn bröt upp från Beerot-Bene-Jaakan och kom till Mosera[a]. Där dog Aron och där blev han begravd, och hans son Eleasar blev präst i hans ställe. 7 Därifrån drog de till Gudgoda och från Gudgoda till Jotbata, en trakt rik på vattenbäckar.
Leviterna avskiljs för Herren
8 På den tiden avskilde Herren Levi stam till att bära Herrens förbundsark, till att stå inför Herrens ansikte och göra tjänst inför honom och till att välsigna i hans namn, så som de gör än i dag. 9 (D) Därför fick Levi ingen lott eller arvedel bland sina bröder. Herren är hans arvedel, så som Herren din Gud har lovat honom.
10 (E) Jag stannade på berget fyrtio dagar och fyrtio nätter som förra gången, och Herren lyssnade till mig också denna gång. Herren ville inte förgöra dig. 11 Herren sade till mig: ”Res dig upp och gå framför folket och låt dem bryta upp, så att de får komma in i och ta i besittning det land som jag med ed har lovat deras fäder att ge dem.”
Frukta Herren
12 (F) Och nu Israel, vad begär Herren din Gud av dig? Bara att du fruktar Herren din Gud, att du vandrar på alla hans vägar, att du älskar honom och att du tjänar Herren din Gud av hela ditt hjärta och av hela din själ, 13 så att du håller Herrens bud och hans stadgar som jag i dag ger dig för att det ska gå dig väl.
14 Se, himlarna och himlarnas himmel, jorden och allt som är på den tillhör Herren din Gud. 15 (G) Ändå var det just dina fäder som Herren fäste sig vid i kärlek. Och er, deras efterkommande,utvalde han bland alla folk, så som det är i dag. 16 (H) Omskär därför ert hjärtas förhud och var inte längre hårdnackade, 17 (I) för Herren er Gud är gudarnas Gud och herrarnas Herre, den Gud som är stor och väldig och inger fruktan, som inte är partisk och inte tar mutor. 18 Han skaffar den faderlöse och änkan rätt, han älskar främlingen och ger honom mat och kläder. 19 (J) Också ni ska älska främlingen för ni har själva varit främlingar i Egyptens land.
20 (K) Herren din Gud ska du frukta, honom ska du tjäna[b], honom ska du hålla dig till, och i hans namn ska du avlägga din ed. 21 Han är din ära[c], han är din Gud, med dig har han gjort de stora och förunderliga gärningar som du har sett med egna ögon. 22 (L) När dina fäder drog ner till Egypten var de sjuttio personer, men nu har Herren din Gud gjort dig talrik som himlens stjärnor.
