1. "At that time the LORD said to me, 'Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones. Also make a wooden Ark-- a sacred chest to store them in. Come up to me on the mountain,
|
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. and I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the ones you smashed. Then place the tablets in the Ark.'
|
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 an Ark of acacia wood and cut two stone tablets like the first two. Then I went up the mountain with the 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. Once again the LORD wrote the Ten Commandments on the tablets and gave them to me. They were the same words the LORD had spoken to you from the heart of the fire on the day you were assembled at the foot of the mountain.
|
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. Then I turned and came down the mountain and placed the tablets in the Ark of the Covenant, which I had made, just as the LORD commanded me. And the tablets are still there in the Ark."
|
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 people of Israel set out from the wells of the people of Jaakan and traveled to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried. His son Eleazar ministered as high priest in his place.
|
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 they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, a land with many brooks and streams.
|
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 set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the LORD's Covenant, and to stand before the LORD as his ministers, and to pronounce blessings in his name. These are their duties to this day.
|
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 Levites have no share of property or possession of land among the other Israelite tribes. The LORD himself is their special possession, as the LORD your God told 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. "As for me, I stayed on the mountain in the LORD's presence for forty days and nights, as I had done the first time. And once again the LORD listened to my pleas and agreed 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. Then the LORD said to me, 'Get up and resume the journey, and lead the people to the land I swore to give to their ancestors, so they may take possession of it.'
|
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. "And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the LORD your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and 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. And you must always obey the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today 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. "Look, the highest heavens and the earth and everything in it all belong to the LORD your God.
|
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. Yet the LORD chose your ancestors as the objects of his love. And he chose you, their descendants, above all other nations, as is evident 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. Therefore, change your hearts and stop being stubborn.
|
16. Circumcise H4135 therefore H853 the foreskin H6190 of your heart H3824 , and be no H3808 more H5750 stiffnecked H6203 H7185 .
|
|
17. "For the LORD your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed.
|
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 ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing.
|
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, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners 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 fear the LORD your God and worship him and cling to him. Your oaths must be in his name alone.
|
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. He alone is your God, the only one who is worthy of your praise, the one who has done these mighty miracles that you have seen 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 seventy of them. But now the LORD your God has made you as numerous 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 .
