Deuteronomy 10:6-11

6“During those days the Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-Yaaqan to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar became priest in his place.

7From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a place of flowing streams.

8At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the Lord’s covenant, to stand before the Lord to serve him, and to formulate blessings in his name, as they do to this very day.

9Therefore Levi has no allotment or inheritance among his brothers; the Lord is his inheritance just as the Lord your God told him.

10As for me, I stayed at the mountain as I did the first time, forty days and nights. The Lord listened to me that time as well and decided not to destroy you.

11Then he said to me, “Get up, set out leading the people so they may go and possess the land I promised to give to their ancestors.”
