DEḆARIM 10 (Deuteronomy 10)

1 “At that time 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to me, ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain. And you shall make yourself an ark of wood,

2 then I write on the tablets the Words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. And you 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, with the two tablets in my hand.

4 “And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Words, which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 gave them to me,

5 and I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made. And they are there, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded me.”

6 Now the children of Yisra’ĕl departed from the wells of Benĕy Ya’aqan to Mosĕrah. Aharon died there, and he was buried there. And El’azar his son became kohĕn in his place.

7 From there they departed to Guḏgoḏah, and from Guḏgoḏah to Yotḇathah, a land of rivers of water.

8 At that time 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 separated the tribe of Lĕwi to bear the ark of the Covenant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, to stand before to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, serve Him, and to baraḵ in His Name, to this day. –

9 Therefore Lĕwi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is his inheritance, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim promised him.

10 “And I stayed in the mountain for forty days and forty nights. And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 heard me at that time also, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 chose not to destroy you.

11 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to me, ‘Arise, go before the people, to depart, and let them go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.’

12 “And now, Yisra’ĕl, what is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim asking of you, but to revere 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, to walk in all His Ways and to love Him, and to serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being,

13 to guard the Commands of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and His Laws which I command you today for your good?

14 “See, the shamayim and the shamayim of shamayim belong to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, also the earth with all that is in it.

15 “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 delighted only in your fathers, to love them. And He chose their seed after them, you above all peoples, as it is today.

16 “And you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and harden your neck no more.

17 “For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim is Elohim of mighty ones and Aḏon of masters, the great Ĕl, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.

18 “He executes right-ruling for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and a garment.

19 “And you shall love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Mitsrayim.

20 “Revere 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim. Serve Him, and cling to Him, and swear by His Name.

21 “He is your praise, and He is your Elohim, who has done for you these great and awesome deeds which your eyes have seen.

22 “Your fathers went down to Mitsrayim with seventy beings, and now 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim has made you as numerous as the stars of the shamayim.
