Deuteronomy 10:6-11
Christian Standard Bible
6 The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan[a] to Moserah. Aaron died and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his place.(A) 7 They traveled from there to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with flowing streams.(B)
8 “At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi(C) to carry the ark of the Lord’s covenant, to stand before the Lord to serve him, and to pronounce blessings in his name, as it is today. 9 For this reason, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance like his brothers; the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God told him.(D)
10 “I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights like the first time. The Lord also listened to me on this occasion;(E) he agreed not to annihilate you. 11 Then the Lord said to me, ‘Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to give their ancestors.’(F)

Deuteronomy 10:6-11
English Standard Version
6 (The people of Israel (A)journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan[a] to Moserah. (B)There Aaron died, and there he was buried. And his son Eleazar ministered as priest in his place. 7 (C)From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with brooks of water. 8 At that time (D)the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi (E)to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord (F)to stand before the Lord to minister to him and (G)to bless in his name, to this day. 9 (H)Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers. The Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God said to him.)
10 (I)“I myself stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, (J)and the Lord listened to me that time also. The Lord was unwilling to destroy you. 11 (K)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.’
