(Exodus 34:1–9)
1
At that time YHWH has said to me, Hew two tablets of stone for yourself like the first, and come up to Me into the mountain, and you have made an ark of wood for yourself,
2
and I write on the tablets the words which were on the first tablets, which you have broken, and you have placed them in the Ark.
3
And I make an ark of shittim wood, and hew two tablets of stone like the first, and go up to the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.
4
And He writes on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which YHWH has spoken to you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly, and YHWH gives them to me,
5
and I turn and come down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the Ark which I had made, and they are there, as YHWH commanded me.
6
And the sons of Israel have journeyed from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera; Aaron died there, and he is buried there, and his son Eleazar acts as priest in his stead.
7
From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
8
At that time YHWH has separated the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, to stand before YHWH, to serve Him, and to bless in His Name to this day;
9
therefore there has not been a portion and inheritance for Levi with his brothers; YHWH Himself [is] his inheritance, as your God YHWH has spoken to him.
10
And I have stood in the mountain, as the former days, [for] forty days and forty nights, and YHWH also listens to me at that time; YHWH has not willed to destroy you.
11
And YHWH says to me, Rise, go to journey before the people, and they go in and possess the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

A Call to Obedience

(Joshua 24:14–28)
12
And now, O Israel, what is your God YHWH asking from you, except to fear your God YHWH, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul,
13
to keep the commands of YHWH, and His statutes which I am commanding you today, for good for you?
14
Behold, the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, [belong] to your God YHWH, [as does] the earth and all that [is] in it.
15
Only, YHWH has delighted in your fathers, to love them, and He fixes on their seed after themon you, out of all the peoples, as [at] this day.
16
And you have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and you do not harden your neck anymore.
17
For He, your God YHWH, [is] God of the gods and Lord of the lords—the great, the mighty, and the fearful God, who does not accept by appearances, nor takes a bribe;
18
He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give bread and raiment to him.
19
And you have loved the sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
20
You fear your God YHWH, you serve Him, and you cleave to Him, and you swear by His Name.
21
He [is] your praise, and He [is] your God, who has done these great and fearful [things] with you which your eyes have seen.
22
Your fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now your God YHWH has made you as [the] stars of the heavens for multitude.”
(Exodus 34:1–9)
1
At that time the LORD said to me, “Cut two stone tablets like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
2
I will 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, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.
4
He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me.
5
I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the LORD commanded me.
6
(The children of Israel traveled 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 place.
7
From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
8
At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
9
Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD your God spoke to him.)
10
I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD listened to me that time also. The LORD would not destroy you.
11
The LORD said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.”

A Call to Obedience

(Joshua 24:14–28)
12
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, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13
to keep the LORD’s commandments and statutes, which I command you today for your good?
14
Behold, to the LORD your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein.
15
Only the LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today.
16
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
17
For the LORD your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.
18
He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.
19
Therefore love the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20
You shall fear the LORD your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
21
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.
22
Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
