Deuteronomy 10 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Tablets Rewritten

Deu 10:1

“At that time Yahweh said to me, ‘Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood for yourself.

Deu 10:2‘And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and you shall put them in the ark.’
Deu 10:3“So I made an ark of acacia wood and carved out two tablets of stone like the former ones and went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.
Deu 10:4“And He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, the Ten [fn]Commandments which Yahweh had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and Yahweh gave them to me.
Deu 10:5“Then 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.”
Deu 10:6

(Now the sons of Israel set out from [fn]Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his place.

Deu 10:7From there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
Deu 10:8At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister for Him and to bless in His name to this day.
Deu 10:9Therefore, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, just as Yahweh your God spoke to him.)
Deu 10:10

“I, moreover, stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights like the first time, and Yahweh listened to me that time also; Yahweh was not willing to destroy you.

Deu 10:11“Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Arise, go on your journey ahead of the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.’

Circumcise Your Heart

Deu 10:12

“So now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God ask from you, but to [fn]fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

Deu 10:13and to keep the commandments of Yahweh and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?
Deu 10:14“Behold, to Yahweh your God belong heaven and the [fn]highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.
Deu 10:15“Yet on your fathers did Yahweh set His affection to love them, and He chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as it is this day.
Deu 10:16“So circumcise [fn]your heart, and stiffen your neck no longer.
Deu 10:17“For Yahweh your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the fearsome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.
Deu 10:18“He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows love for the sojourner by giving him food and clothing.
Deu 10:19“So show love for the sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Deu 10:20“Yahweh your God you shall fear; Him you shall serve, and to Him you shall cling, and by His name you shall swear.
Deu 10:21“He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done these great and fearsome things for you which your eyes have seen.
Deu 10:22“Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons in all, and now Yahweh your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.
