1At that time Jehovah 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.
1At that time the LORD said to me, 'Cut two stone tablets like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also, make a wooden chest.'
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.
2'I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the first tablets which you broke, and you must put them in the chest.'
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 my hand.
3So I made a chest out of acacia wood, cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.
4And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Jehovah spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Jehovah gave them unto me.
4The LORD wrote on these tablets the same thing he wrote before—the Ten Commandments. These were the words the LORD spoke to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day you were all gathered together. Then the LORD gave them to me.
5And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Jehovah commanded me.
5I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the chest I had made, and they are still there, just 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.
6(The Israelites traveled from the wells of the people of Jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died there and was buried, and his son Eleazar took over the work of the priest.
7From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
7From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with many streams of water.
8At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
8At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the chest of the LORD’s covenant, to stand before the LORD to serve him, and to give blessings in his name, as they still do today.
9Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spake unto him.)
9That is why the tribe of Levi has no share of land or inheritance like their brothers; the LORD is their inheritance, just as the LORD your God promised them.)
10And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also; Jehovah would not destroy thee.

11And Jehovah 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.
11Then the LORD said to me, 'Go, lead the people on their journey so they can enter and take the land that I promised to give to their ancestors.'
12And now, Israel, what doth Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
12And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you? Only this: to respect the LORD your God, to live the way he wants you to live, to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul.
13to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
13You must obey the LORD’s commands and laws that I am giving you today for your own good.
14Behold, unto Jehovah thy God belongeth heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.
14Look, the highest heavens belong to the LORD your God, and so does the earth and everything in it.
15Only Jehovah 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.
15Yet the LORD was very fond of your ancestors and loved them. He chose you, their descendants, out of all the nations, just as it is today.
16Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
16So, change your hearts and stop being so stubborn and rebellious.
17For Jehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward.
17For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is the great, powerful, and awesome God. He does not show favorites, and he cannot be bribed.
18He doth execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loveth the sojourner, in giving him food and raiment.
18He makes sure orphans and widows get justice. He loves the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing.
19Love ye therefore the sojourner; for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
19So you must also love the foreigners, because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; him shalt thou serve; and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear.
20You must respect the LORD your God and serve him. Hold tight to him and take your vows only in his name.
