6
(The people of Israel journeyed from Be-er'oth Bene-ja'akan to Mose'rah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and his son Elea'zar ministered as priest in his stead.
7
From there they journeyed to Gud'godah, and from Gud'godah to Jot'bathah, a land with brooks of water.
8
At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to him and to bless in his name, to this day.
9
Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God said to him.)
10
"I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and the LORD hearkened to me that time also; the LORD was unwilling to destroy you.
11
And the LORD said to me, 'Arise, go on your journey at the head of the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.'
12
"And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13
and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I command you this day for your good?
14
Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it;
15
yet the LORD set his heart in love upon your fathers and chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as at this day.
16
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn.
