Deuteronomy 10

ba'et hahiv amar Adonai elay pesol-lekha shene-lukhot avanim karishonim va'aleh elay haharah ve'asita lekha aron ets

Thereupon GOD said to me, “Carve out two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain; and make an ark of wood.

ve'ekhtov al-hallukhot et-haddevarim asher hayu al-hallukhot harishonim asher shibbarta vesamtam ba'aron

I will inscribe on the tablets the commandments that were on the first tablets that you smashed, and you shall deposit them in the ark.”

va'a'as aron atse shittim va'efsol shene-lukhot avanim karishonim va'a'al haharah ushene hallukhot beyadi

I made an ark of acacia wood and carved out two tablets of stone like the first; I took the two tablets with me and went up the mountain.

vayyikhtov al-hallukhot kammikhtav harishon et aseret haddevarim asher dibber Adonai alekhem bahar mittokh ha'esh beyom haqqahal vayyittenem Adonai elay

After inscribing on the tablets the same text as on the first—the Ten Commandments that GOD addressed to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the Assembly—GOD gave them to me.

va'efen va'ered min-hahar va'asim et-hallukhot ba'aron asher asiti vayyihyu sham ka'asher tsivvani Adonai

Then I left and went down from the mountain, and I deposited the tablets in the ark that I had made, where they still are, as GOD had commanded me.

uvene yisra'el nase'u mibbe'erot bene-ya'aqan moserah sham met aharon vayyiqqaver sham vayekhahen elazar beno takhtayw

From Beeroth-bene-jaakan the Israelites marched to Moserah. Aaron died there and was buried there; and his son Eleazar became priest in his stead.

misham nase'u haggudgodah umin-haggudgodah yotvatah erets nakhale mayim

From there they marched to Gudgod, and from Gudgod to Jotbath, a region of running brooks.

ba'et hahiv hivdil Adonai et-shevet hallevi laset et-aron berit-Adonai la'amod lifne Adonai leshareto ulevarekh bishmo ad hayyom hazzeh

At that time GOD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of GOD’s Covenant, to stand in attendance upon GOD, and to bless in God’s name, as is still the case.

al-ken lo-hayah lelevi kheleq venakhalah im-ekhayw Adonai hu nakhalato ka'asher dibber Adonai elohekha lo

That is why Levi has received no hereditary portion along with its kindred: GOD is its portion, as the ETERNAL your God spoke concerning it.

ve'anokhi amadti vahar kayyamim harishonim arba'im yom ve'arba'im layelah vayyishma Adonai elay gam bappa'am hahiv lo-avah Adonai hashkhitekha

I had stayed on the mountain, as I did the first time, forty days and forty nights; and GOD heeded me once again: GOD agreed not to destroy you.

vayyomer Adonai elay qum lekh lemassa lifne ha'am veyavo'u veyireshu et-ha'arets asher-nishbati la'avotam latet lahem

And GOD said to me, “Up, resume the march at the head of the people, that they may go in and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.”

ve'attah yisra'el mah Adonai elohekha sho'el me'immakh ki im-leyirah et-Adonai elohekha lalekhet bekhol-derakhayw ule'ahavah oto vela'avod et-Adonai elohekha bekhol-levavekha uvekhol-nafshekha

And now, O Israel, what does the ETERNAL your God demand of you? Only this: to revere the ETERNAL your God, to walk only in divine paths, to love and to serve the ETERNAL your God with all your heart and soul,

lishmor et-mitsvot Adonai ve'et-khuqqotayw asher anokhi metsavvekha hayyom letov lakh

keeping GOD’s commandments and laws, which I enjoin upon you today, for your good.

hen la-Adonai elohekha hashamayim usheme hashamayim ha'arets vekhol-asher-bah

Mark, the heavens to their uttermost reaches belong to the ETERNAL your God, the earth and all that is on it!

raq ba'avotekha khashaq Adonai le'ahavah otam vayyivkhar bezaram akharehem bakhem mikkol-ha'ammim kayyom hazzeh

Yet it was to your ancestors that GOD was drawn out of love for them, so that you, their lineal descendants, were chosen from among all peoples—as is now the case.

umaltem et orlat levavkhem ve'orpekhem lo taqshu od

Cut away, therefore, the thickening about your hearts and stiffen your necks no more.

ki Adonai elohekhem hu elohe ha'elohim va'adone ha'adonim ha'el haggadol haggibbor vehannora asher lo-yissa fanim velo yiqqakh shokhad

For the ETERNAL your God is God supreme and Sovereign supreme, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who shows no favor and takes no bribe,

oseh mishpat yatom ve'almanah ve'ohev ger latet lo lekhem vesimlah

but upholds the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and befriends the stranger, providing food and clothing.—

va'ahavtem et-hagger ki-gerim heyitem be'erets mitsrayim

You too must befriend the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

et-Adonai elohekha tira oto ta'avod uvo tidbaq uvishmo tishavea

You must revere the ETERNAL your God—whom you shall worship, to whom you shall hold fast, and by whose name you shall swear.

hu tehillatekha vehu elohekha asher-asah ittekha et-haggedolot ve'et-hannora'ot ha'elleh asher ra'u enekha

[The ETERNAL] is your glory and your God, who wrought for you those marvelous, awesome deeds that you saw with your own eyes.

beshivim nefesh yaredu avotekha mitsrayemah ve'attah samekha Adonai elohekha kekhokheve hashamayim larov

Your ancestors went down to Egypt seventy persons; and now the ETERNAL your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.
