Tables of stone containing Ten Commandments placed in ark—All that God requires is that Israel love and serve him—How great and mighty is the Lord!

 AT that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two ^atables^• of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ^bark^• of wood.

 And I will ^awrite^• on the tables the words that were in the first tables ^bwhich^• thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

 And I made an ark of ^ashittim^• wood, and hewed two ^btables^• of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.

 And he ^awrote 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.

 And 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.

 ¶ And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there ^aAaron^• died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his stead.

 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to ^aJotbath^•, a land of ^brivers^• of waters.

 ¶ At that time the LORD ^aseparated^• the tribe of ^bLevi^•, to ^cbear^• the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to ^dbless^• in his name, unto this day.

 Wherefore ^aLevi^• hath no ^bpart^• nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his ^cinheritance^•, according as the LORD thy God promised him.

 And 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.

 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy ^ajourney^• before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.

 ¶ And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God ^arequire of thee, but to ^bfear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to ^cserve the LORD thy God with all thy ^dheart and with all thy soul,

 To keep the ^acommandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy ^bgood^•?

 Behold, the heaven and the ^aheaven of heavens is the LORD’s thy God, the ^bearth^• also, with ^call that therein is.

 ^aOnly^• the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to ^blove them, and he ^cchose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

 ^aCircumcise^• therefore the foreskin of your ^bheart^•, and be no more ^cstiffnecked^•.

 For the LORD your ^aGod^• is ^bGod^• of gods, and ^cLord^• of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, ^dwhich^{• e}regardeth^• not persons, nor taketh ^freward^•:

 He ^adoth^• execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and ^bloveth the ^cstranger^•, in giving him ^dfood and raiment.

 ^aLove^• ye therefore the ^bstranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou ^acleave^•, and ^bswear^• by his name.

 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these ^agreat^• and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

 Thy ^afathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the ^bstars^• of heaven for multitude.
