1At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.1At that same time the LORD said to me, "Carve out for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones and come up the mountain to me; also make for yourself a wooden ark.
2And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.2I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the first tablets you broke, and you must put them into the ark."
3And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.3So I made an ark of acacia wood and carved out two stone tablets just like the first ones. Then I went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.
4And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.4The LORD then wrote on the tablets the same words, the ten commandments, which he had spoken to you at the mountain from the middle of the fire at the time of that assembly, and he gave them to me.
5And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.5Then I turned, went down the mountain, and placed the tablets into the ark I had made--they are still there, just as the LORD commanded me.
6And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.6"During those days the Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-Yaaqan to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar became priest in his place.
7From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.7From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a place of flowing streams.
8At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.8At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the LORD's covenant, to stand before the LORD to serve him, and to formulate blessings in his name, as they do to this very day.
9Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.9Therefore Levi has no allotment or inheritance among his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance just as the LORD your God told him.
10And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.10As for me, I stayed at the mountain as I did the first time, forty days and nights. The LORD listened to me that time as well and decided not to destroy you.
11And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.11Then he said to me, "Get up, set out leading the people so they may go and possess the land I promised to give to their ancestors."
12And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,12Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you except to revere him, to obey all his commandments, to love him, to serve him with all your mind and being,
13To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?13and to keep the Lord's commandments and statutes that I am giving you today for your own good?
14Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.14The heavens--indeed the highest heavens--belong to the LORD your God, as does the earth and everything in it.
15Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.15However, only to your ancestors did he show his loving favor, and he chose you, their descendants, from all peoples--as is apparent today.
16Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.16Therefore, cleanse your heart and stop being so stubborn!
17For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:17For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God who is unbiased and takes no bribe,
18He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.18who justly treats the orphan and widow, and who loves resident foreigners, giving them food and clothing.
19Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.19So you must love the resident foreigner because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.20Revere the LORD your God, serve him, be loyal to him and take oaths only in his name.
21He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.21He is the one you should praise; he is your God, the one who has done these great and awesome things for you that you have seen.
22Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.22When your ancestors went down to Egypt, they numbered only seventy, but now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars of the sky.
