New Tablets of Stone
1“At that time the Lord said to me, #Ex. 34:1, 2 ‘Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain and #Ex. 25:10make an ark of wood. 2And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and #Ex. 25:16, 21you shall put them in the ark.’ 3So I made an ark #Ex. 25:10; 37:1 of acacia wood, and #Ex. 34:4cut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. 4And #Ex. 34:28 he wrote on the tablets, in the same writing as before, the Ten Commandments#10:4 Hebrew the ten words #Ex. 20:1 that the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire #See ch. 9:10on the day of the assembly. And the Lord gave them to me. 5Then I turned and #Ex. 34:29 came down from the mountain and #Ex. 40:20 put the tablets in the ark that I had made. #1 Kgs. 8:9And there they are, as the Lord commanded me.”
6(The people of Israel #Num. 33:30, 31 journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan#10:6 Or the wells of the Bene-jaakan to Moserah. #[Num. 20:28; 33:38]There Aaron died, and there he was buried. And his son Eleazar ministered as priest in his place. 7#Num. 33:32, 33From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with brooks of water. 8At that time #Num. 3:6; 8:14; 16:9; [1 Chr. 23:13] the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi #Num. 4:5, 15 to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord #ch. 17:12; 18:5, 7 to stand before the Lord to minister to him and #ch. 21:5; Lev. 9:22; See Num. 6:23-26to bless in his name, to this day. 9#See Num. 18:20Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers. The Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God said to him.)
10 # ch. 9:18, 25 “I myself stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, #ch. 9:19and the Lord listened to me that time also. The Lord was unwilling to destroy you. 11#Ex. 32:34; 33:1And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, go on your journey at the head of the people, so that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.’
Circumcise Your Heart
12“And now, Israel, #[Mic. 6:8] what does the Lord your God require of you, but #See ch. 6:2, 13 to fear the Lord your God, #See ch. 5:33 to walk in all his ways, #See ch. 6:5to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13and #ch. 7:11 to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today #ch. 6:24for your good? 14Behold, #1 Kgs. 8:27; 2 Chr. 6:18; Neh. 9:6; Ps. 115:16; Isa. 66:1 to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, #Ex. 19:5; Ps. 24:1the earth with all that is in it. 15Yet #ch. 4:37; [ch. 7:7]the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. 16Circumcise therefore #ch. 30:6; Jer. 4:4; [Acts 7:51] the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer #See ch. 9:6stubborn. 17For the Lord your God is #Josh. 22:22; Ps. 136:2; Dan. 2:47; 11:36 God of gods and #Rev. 17:14; 19:16 Lord of lords, #Neh. 9:32; See ch. 7:21 the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is #2 Chr. 19:7; Job 34:19; Acts 10:34; Rom. 2:11; Gal. 2:6; Eph. 6:9; Col. 3:25; 1 Pet. 1:17not partial and takes no bribe. 18#Ps. 68:5; 146:9; [ch. 24:17; Ex. 22:22]He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. 19#Ex. 22:21; 23:9; Lev. 19:33, 34Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 20#[See ver. 12 above] You shall fear the Lord your God. You shall serve him and #ch. 11:22; 13:4; 30:20 hold fast to him, and #See ch. 6:13by his name you shall swear. 21#Ps. 22:3; 109:1; Jer. 17:14 He is your praise. He is your God, #2 Sam. 7:23; Ps. 106:21, 22who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen. 22Your fathers went down to Egypt #Gen. 46:27; Ex. 1:5; [Acts 7:14] seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you #ch. 28:62; Neh. 9:23; See Gen. 15:5as numerous as the stars of heaven.

Deuteronomy 10
10
1At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 2And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 3So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. 4And he wrote 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. 5And I turned 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. 6(And the children of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead. 7From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. 8At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. 9Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God spake unto him.) 10And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and the LORD hearkened unto me that time also; the LORD would not destroy thee. 11And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
12And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, 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, 13to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? 14Behold, unto the LORD thy God belongeth the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that therein is. 15Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day. 16Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. 17For the LORD your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward. 18He doth execute the judgement of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. 19Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve; and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear. 21He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. 22Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
