1
And it came to pass that YHVHa saidb unto me: Hew thee two other tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me upon the Mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
2
And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou breakest, save the words of the Everlasting Covenanta of the Holy Priesthood; and thou shalt put them in the ark.
3
And I made an ark of wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the Mount of Ha’Elohim, having the two tables in mine hand.
4
And YHVH wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the Covenant, which YHVH spoke unto you in the Mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly;
5
And He gave ten instructions also; and YHVH gave these unto us, that thou might know, and that thou wouldst remember.
6
And we turned ourselves, and came down from the Mount, and I put the tables in the ark which had been made; and there they be even as YHVH commanded me.
7
¶ And it came to pass that Israel took her journey from there to the mount where Aaron dieda, and there he was buried; and Eleazar, his son, ministered in the office of the Priest in his stead.
8
And YHVH separated the tribe of Levi to bear the Ark of the Covenant of YHVH, to stand before YHVH to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name;
9
And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and YHVH hearkened unto me at that time also, and YHVH would not destroy thee.
10
And YHVH said unto me: Arise; take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore unto their fathers to give unto them.
11
¶ And now, O Israel, what doth YHVH, thy Elohima, require of thee, but to reverence YHVH, thy Elohim,
12
To walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
14
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavensa belongs to YHVH, thy Elohim, the earth also, with all that therein is.
15
Only YHVH had a delight in thy fathers to love them; and He chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
16
Circumcise, therefore, the foreskin of thine heart and be no more stiff-necked;
17
For YHVH, your Elohim, is Elohim over Ha’Elohima, and Lordb of lordsc, El Elyond, mighty and awesome, which regardeth not any persons nor taketh any bribes;
18
YHVH doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow and loveth the stranger, in giving them food and raiment;
19
For YHVH hath saida: If a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, thou shall not vex them; but the stranger that dwelleth with thee shall be unto thee as one born among you,
20
And thou shalt love them as thyself; for thou wast a stranger in the land of Egypt; and I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
21
Therefore, love the stranger and the foreigner amongst you; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22
¶ Thou shalt fear YHVH, thy Elohim; Him shalt thou serve, and to Him shalt thou cleave and make all thy oaths by His name.
23
He is thy praise, and He is thy Elohim, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things which thine eyes have seen.
24
Thy fathers went down into Egypt with but seventya people; and now YHVH, thy Elohim, hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude;
25
Therefore, thou shalt love YHVH, thy Elohim, and keep His obligations, and His statutes, and His ordinances, and His mitzvoth always.
