Deuteronomy 10:1-9

1“At that time the Lord said to me, ‘1Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to Me on the mountain, and 2make an ark of wood for yourself. 23I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and 4you shall put them in the ark.’ 3So 5I made an ark of acacia wood and 6cut out two tablets of stone like the former ones, and went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. 4He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, 7the Ten 8Commandments 9which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire 10on the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me. 5Then I turned and 11came down from the mountain and 12put the tablets in the ark which I had made; 13and there they are, as the Lord commanded me.”

6(Now the sons of Israel set out from 14Beeroth 15Bene-jaakan to Moserah. 16There Aaron died and there he was buried and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his place. 717From there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. 818At 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 19to serve Him and to bless in His name until this day. 920Therefore, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance with his brothers; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the Lord your God spoke to him.)
