1. "At that time the Lord said to me, 'You must cut out two stone tablets like the first two stones. Then you must come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden box.
|
1. At that H1931 time H6256 the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Hew H6458 thee two H8147 tables H3871 of stone H68 like unto the first H7223 , and come up H5927 unto H413 me into the mount H2022 , and make H6213 thee an ark H727 of wood H6086 .
|
|
2. I will write on the stone tablets the same words that were on the first stones�the stones you broke. Then you must put these new stones in the Box.'
|
2. And I will write H3789 on H5921 the tables H3871 H853 the words H1697 that H834 were H1961 in H5921 the first H7223 tables H3871 which H834 thou didst break H7665 , and thou shalt put H7760 them in the ark H727 .
|
|
3. "So I made a box from acacia wood. I cut two stone tablets like the first two stones. Then I went up on the mountain. I had the two stone tablets in my hand.
|
3. And I made H6213 an ark H727 of shittim H7848 wood H6086 , and hewed H6458 two H8147 tables H3871 of stone H68 like unto the first H7223 , and went up H5927 into the mount H2022 , having the two H8147 tables H3871 in mine hand H3027 .
|
|
4. And the Lord wrote on the stones the same words he had written before�the Ten Commandments he spoke to you from the fire, when you were gathered together at the mountain. Then the Lord gave the two stone tablets to me.
|
4. And he wrote H3789 on H5921 the tables H3871 , according to the first H7223 writing H4385 , H853 the ten H6235 commandments H1697 , which H834 the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 you in the mount H2022 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of the fire H784 in the day H3117 of the assembly H6951 : and the LORD H3068 gave H5414 them unto H413 me.
|
|
5. I came back down from the mountain. I put the stones in the Box I had made. The Lord commanded me to put them there. And the stones are still there in that Box."
|
5. And I turned myself H6437 and came down H3381 from H4480 the mount H2022 , and put H7760 H853 the tables H3871 in the ark H727 which H834 I had made H6213 ; and there H8033 they be H1961 , as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 me.

|
6. (The Israelites traveled from the wells of the people of Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried. Aaron's son Eleazar served in Aaron's place as priest.
|
6. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 took their journey H5265 from Beeroth H4480 H881 of the children H1121 of Jaakan H3292 to Mosera H4149 : there H8033 Aaron H175 died H4191 , and there H8033 he was buried H6912 ; and Eleazar H499 his son H1121 ministered in the priest's office H3547 in his stead H8478 .
|
|
7. Then the Israelites went from Moserah to Gudgodah. And they went from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of rivers.
|
7. From thence H4480 H8033 they journeyed H5265 unto Gudgodah H1412 ; and from H4480 Gudgodah H1412 to Jotbath H3193 , a land H776 of rivers H5158 of waters H4325 .
|
|
8. At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi from the other tribes for his special work. They had the work of carrying the Lord's Box of the Agreement. They also served as priests before the Lord. And they had the work of blessing people in the Lord's name. They still do this special work today.
|
8. At that H1931 time H6256 the LORD H3068 separated H914 H853 the tribe H7626 of Levi H3878 , to bear H5375 H853 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 , to stand H5975 before H6440 the LORD H3068 to minister H8334 unto him , and to bless H1288 in his name H8034 , unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
9. That is why the people from the tribe of Levi did not get any share of land like the other tribes did. They have the Lord for their share. That is what the Lord your God promised them.)
|
9. Wherefore H5921 H3651 Levi H3878 hath H1961 no H3808 part H2506 nor inheritance H5159 with H5973 his brethren H251 ; the LORD H3068 is his inheritance H5159 , according H834 as the LORD H3068 thy God H430 promised H1696 him.
|
|
10. "I stayed on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights, like the first time. The Lord also listened to me at that time. He decided not to destroy you.
|
10. And I H595 stayed H5975 in the mount H2022 , according to the first H7223 time H3117 , forty H705 days H3117 and forty H705 nights H3915 ; and the LORD H3068 hearkened H8085 unto H413 me at that H1931 time H6471 also H1571 , and the LORD H3068 would H14 not H3808 destroy H7843 thee.
|
|
11. The Lord said to me, 'Go and lead the people on their trip. They will go in and live in the land that I promised to give to their ancestors. '
|
11. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Arise H6965 , take H1980 thy journey H4550 before H6440 the people H5971 , that they may go in H935 and possess H3423 H853 the land H776 , which H834 I swore H7650 unto their fathers H1 to give H5414 unto them.
|
|
12. "Now, Israelites, listen! What does the Lord your God really want from you? The Lord God wants you to respect him and do what he says. He wants you to love him and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
|
12. And now H6258 , Israel H3478 , what H4100 doth the LORD H3068 thy God H430 require H7592 of H4480 H5973 thee, but H3588 H518 to fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , to walk H1980 in all H3605 his ways H1870 , and to love H157 him , and to serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 with all H3605 thy heart H3824 and with all H3605 thy soul H5315 ,
|
|
13. So obey the laws and commands of the Lord that I am giving you today. These laws and commands are for your own good.
|
13. To keep H8104 H853 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 , and his statutes H2708 , which H834 I H595 command H6680 thee this day H3117 for thy good H2896 ?
|
|
14. "Everything belongs to the Lord your God. The heavens, even the highest heavens, belong to him. The earth and everything on it belong to him.
|
14. Behold H2005 , the heaven H8064 and the heaven H8064 of heavens H8064 is the LORD H3068 's thy God H430 , the earth H776 also , with all H3605 that H834 therein is .
|
|
15. The Lord loved your ancestors very much. He loved them so much that he chose you, their descendants, to be his people. He chose you instead of any other nation, and you are still his chosen people today.
|
15. Only H7535 the LORD H3068 had a delight H2836 in thy fathers H1 to love H157 them , and he chose H977 their seed H2233 after H310 them, even you above all H4480 H3605 people H5971 , as it is this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
16. "Stop being stubborn. Give your hearts to the Lord.
|
16. Circumcise H4135 therefore H853 the foreskin H6190 of your heart H3824 , and be no H3808 more H5750 stiffnecked H6203 H7185 .
|
|
17. The Lord is your God. He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is the great God. He is the amazing and powerful fighter. To him everyone is the same. He does not accept money to change his mind.
|
17. For H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 is God H430 of gods H430 , and Lord H113 of lords H113 , a great H1419 God H410 , a mighty H1368 , and a terrible H3372 , which H834 regardeth H5375 not H3808 persons H6440 , nor H3808 taketh H3947 reward H7810 :
|
|
18. He defends widows and orphans. He loves even the strangers living among us. He gives them food and clothes.
|
18. He doth execute H6213 the judgment H4941 of the fatherless H3490 and widow H490 , and loveth H157 the stranger H1616 , in giving H5414 him food H3899 and raiment H8071 .
|
|
19. So you must also love them, because you yourselves were strangers in the land of Egypt.
|
19. Love H157 ye therefore H853 the stranger H1616 : for H3588 ye were H1961 strangers H1616 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
20. "You must respect the Lord your God and worship only him. Never leave him. When you make promises, you must use his name only.
|
20. Thou shalt fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 ; him shalt thou serve H5647 , and to him shalt thou cleave H1692 , and swear H7650 by his name H8034 .
|
|
21. The Lord is the one you should praise. He is your God. He has done great and amazing things for you. You have seen them with your own eyes.
|
21. He H1931 is thy praise H8416 , and he H1931 is thy God H430 , that H834 hath done H6213 for H854 thee H853 these H428 great H1419 and terrible things H3372 , which H834 thine eyes H5869 have seen H7200 .
|
|
22. When your ancestors went down into Egypt, there were only 70 people. Now the Lord your God has made you as many as the stars in the sky.
|
22. Thy fathers H1 went down H3381 into Egypt H4714 with threescore and ten H7657 persons H5315 ; and now H6258 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath made H7760 thee as the stars H3556 of heaven H8064 for multitude H7230 .
