Deuteronomy 10:1

The Second Pair of Tablets

1 “At that time the Lord said to me,¹ ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain and make yourself an ^aark of wood.

2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and ^ayou shall put them in the ark.’

3 “So I made an ark of acacia wood, hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.

4 And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten¹ Commandments, ^awhich the Lord had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me.

5 Then I turned and ^acame down from the mountain, and ^bput the tablets in the ark which I had made; ^cand there they are, just as the Lord commanded me.”

6 (Now the children of Israel journeyed from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron ^adied, and where he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his¹ stead.

7 ^aFrom there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of rivers of water.

8 At that time ^athe Lord separated the tribe of Levi ^bto bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, ^cto stand before the Lord to minister to Him and ^dto bless in His name, to this day.

9 ^aTherefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the Lord your God promised him.)

10 “As at the first time, ^aI stayed in the mountain forty days and forty nights; ^bthe Lord also heard me at that time, and the Lord chose not to destroy you.

11 ^aThen the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, begin your journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.’

The Essence of the Law

12 “And now, Israel, ^awhat does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to ^blove Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today ^afor your good?
