Deuteronomy 10:1-11

1At that time the LORD said to me, Hew thee two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me upon the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 2And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 3And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up to the mount, having the two tables in my hand. 4And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them to me.1 5And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me. 6And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his stead. 7From there they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters. 8At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day. 9Therefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him. 10And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened to me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.2 11And the LORD said to me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.3
