1. At that time Jehovah said to me: Cut out two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me into the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
2. And I will write on the tablets the words that were in the first tablets which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.
3. And I made an ark of acacia-wood, and cut out two tablets of stone like the first, and went up into the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.
4. And He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments which Jehovah spoke to you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. And Jehovah gave them to me.
5. And I turned myself and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made. And there they are, as Jehovah commanded me.
6. And the sons of Israel pulled up stakes from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera. There Aaron died, and there he was buried. And Eleazar his son served in the priest's office in his place.
7. From there they pulled up stakes to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of water brooks.
8. At that time Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister to Him, and to bless in His name, until today.
9. Therefore Levi has no part nor inheritance with his brothers. Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah your God promised him.
10. And I stayed in the mountain, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights. And Jehovah listened to me at that time also. Jehovah would not destroy you.
11. And Jehovah said to me, Arise, Go before the people, causing them to go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
12. And now, Israel, what does Jehovah your God ask of you, but to fear Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13. to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and His statutes, which I command you today for your good?
14. Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to Jehovah your God, the earth also, with all in it.
15. Only Jehovah had a delight in your fathers to love them, and He chose their seed after them, you above all people, as it is today.
16. Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stiff-necked.
17. For Jehovah your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, the mighty, and a terrible God, who does not respect persons nor take a bribe.
18. He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the stranger in giving him food and clothing.
19. Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20. You shall fear Jehovah your God. You shall serve Him, and you shall hold fast to Him, and swear by His name.
21. He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrible things which your eyes have seen.
22. Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons. And now Jehovah your God has made you as the stars of the heavens for multitude.
