3
So I made an ark of boards of incorruptible wood, and I hewed tables of stone like the first, and I went up to the mountain, and the two tables were in my hand.
4
And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing the ten commandments, which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire, and the Lord gave them to me.
5
And I turned and came down from the mountain, and I put the tables into the ark which I had made; and there they were, as the Lord commanded me.
6
And the children of Israel departed from Beeroth of the sons of Jakim Misadai: there Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son was priest in his stead.
7
Thence they departed to Gadgad; and from Gadgad to Etebatha, a land torrents of water.
8
At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand near before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name to this day.
9
Therefore the Levites have no part nor inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself their inheritance, as he said to them.
10
And I remained in the mount forty days and forty nights: and the Lord heard me at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy you.
11
And the Lord said to me, Go, set out before this people, and let them go in and inherit the land, which I sware to their fathers to give to them.
12
And now, Israel, what does the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, and 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;
13
to keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and his ordinances, all that I charge thee to-day, that it may be well with thee?
