05:010:005 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.
05:010:006 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.
05:010:007 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah
to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
05:010:008 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.
05:010:009 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his
brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God
promised him.
05:010:010 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.
05:010:011 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.
05:010:012 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,
05:010:013 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes,
which I command thee this day for thy good?
05:010:014 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's
thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
05:010:015 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.
05:010:016 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no
more stiffnecked.
05:010:017 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:
05:010:018 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow,
and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
05:010:019 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the
land of Egypt.
05:010:020 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and
to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
05:010:021 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee
these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
05:010:022 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.
05:011:001 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his
charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments,
alway.
