Deuteronomy 10:1-22 (KJV)
[1] At that time the Lord 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.
[2] And I will write on the tables the words that
were in the first tables which thou brakest,
and thou shalt put them in the ark.
[3] And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed
two tables of stone like unto the first, and went
up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.
[4] And he wrote on the tables, according to the
first writing, the ten commandments, which the
Lord spake unto you in the mount out of the midst
of the fire in the day of the assembly: and
the Lord gave them unto me.
[5] And I turned myself and came down from the mount,
and put the tables in the ark which I had made;
and there they be, as the Lord commanded me.
[6] And 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.
[7] From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah;
and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
[8] At 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 unto him, and
to bless in his name, unto this day.
[9] Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with
his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, according
as the Lord thy God promised him.
[10] And I stayed in the mount, according to the
first time, forty days and forty nights; and the
Lord hearkened unto me at that time also, and
the Lord would not destroy thee.
[11] And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take thy
journey before the people, that they may go in and
possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers
to give unto them.
[12] And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God
require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God,
to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to
serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart
and with all thy soul,
[13] To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his
statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
[14] Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is
the Lord's thy God, the earth also, with all that
therein is.
[15] Only the Lord 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 your heart,
and be no more stiffnecked.
[17] For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord
of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible,
which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
[18] He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless
and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him
food and raiment.
[19] Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were
strangers in the land of Egypt.
[20] Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou
serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
[21] He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath
done for thee these great and terrible things, which
thine eyes have seen.
[22] Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore
and ten persons; and now the Lord thy God hath made
thee as the stars of heaven for multitude

May your every moment be
richly blessed by our Saviour!
