          DASV: Deuteronomy 10    

1 At that time the LORD said to me, 'Carve out two tablets of
stone like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain,
and make an ark of wood.
2 I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the
first tablets that you broke, and you are to put them in the ark.'

3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and carved out two stone
tablets like the first ones, and went up into the mountain
with the two tablets in hand.
4 He wrote on the tablets the same words, the ten commandments,
that the LORD spoke to you in the mountain out of the midst of
the fire on the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them
to me.
5 Then I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the
tablets in the ark that I had made and they are still there
just as the LORD commanded me.

6 (Now the Israelites journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah.
There Aaron died, and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded
him in the priest's office.
7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to
Jotbathah, a land with flowing streams.
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 serve him and to bless in his name, to this day.
9 This is the reason Levi has no portion or inheritance with
his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, just as the LORD
your God spoke to him.)

10 I stayed on the mountain, as I did the first time, forty days
and forty nights. The LORD listened to me that time also and
the LORD decided not destroy you.
11 Then the LORD said to me, 'Get up, go on your journey leading
the people so that they may go in and possess the land that
I promised their forefathers to give to them.

12 Now, then, 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 soul,
13 to keep the command of the LORD, and his statutes,
that I am commanding you this day for your good?

14 Look, the heavens, even the highest heavens, belong to the
LORD your God, along with the earth and all that is in it.
15 Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your forefathers,
and he chose you, their descendants, after them, over all
other peoples as it is today.
16 Circumcise, therefore, the foreskin of your heart,
and stop being stubborn.

17 For the LORD your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords,
the great God, the mighty and awesome One, who is not
biased and will not take a bribe.
18 He guarantees justice for the orphan and widow, and loves
the resident foreigners, providing them food and clothes.
19 So love the resident foreigner; for you were resident
foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20 Fear the LORD your God, serve him and hold on to him,
and take oaths only in his name.
21 He is the only one worthy of your praise, and he is
your God, who has done for you these great and awesome
things, that your eyes have seen.
22 Your forefathers went down to Egypt with only seventy people,
and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as
the stars of heaven.
