Deuteronomio 10

1 EN aquel tiempo Jehová me dijo: Lábrate dos tablas de piedra como las primeras, y sube á mí al monte, y hazte un arca de madera:2 Y escribiré en aquellas tablas palabras que estaban en las tablas primeras que quebraste; y las pondrás en el arca.3 E hice un arca de madera de Sittim, y labré dos tablas de piedra como las primeras, y subí al monte con las dos tablas en mi mano.4 Y escribió en las tablas conforme á la primera escritura, las diez palabras que Jehová os había hablado en el monte de en medio del fuego, el día de la asamblea; y diómelas Jehová.5 Y volví y descendí del monte, y puse las tablas en el arca que había hecho; y allí están, como Jehová me mandó.6 (Después partieron los hijos de Israel de Beerot-bene-jacaam á Moserá: allí murió Aarón, y allí fué sepultado; y en lugar suyo tuvo el sacerdocio su hijo Eleazar.7 De allí partieron á Gudgod, y de Gudgod á Jotbath, tierra de arroyos de aguas.8 En aquel tiempo apartó Jehová la tribu de Leví, para que llevase el arca del pacto de Jehová, para que estuviese delante de Jehová para servirle, y para bendecir en su nombre, hasta hoy.9 Por lo cual Leví no tuvo parte ni heredad con sus hermanos: Jehová es su heredad, como Jehová tu Dios le dijo.)10 Y yo estuve en el monte como los primeros días, cuarenta días y cuarenta noches; y Jehová me oyó también esta vez, y no quiso Jehová destruirte.11 Y díjome Jehová: Levántate, anda, para que partas delante del pueblo, para que entren y posean la tierra que juré á sus padres les había de dar.

12 Ahora pues, Israel, ¿qué pide Jehová tu Dios de ti, sino que temas á Jehová tu Dios, que andes en todos sus caminos, y que lo ames, y sirvas á Jehová tu Dios con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma;

13 Que guardes los mandamientos de Jehová y sus estatutos, que yo te prescribo hoy, para que hayas bien?

14 He aquí, de Jehová tu Dios son los cielos, y los cielos de los cielos: la tierra, y todas las cosas que hay en ella.

15 Solamente de tus padres se agradó Jehová para amarlos, y escogió su simiente después de ellos, á vosotros, de entre todos los pueblos, como en este día.

16 Circuncidad pues el prepucio de vuestro corazón, y no endurezcáis más vuestra cerviz.

17 Porque Jehová vuestro Dios es Dios de dioses, y Señor de señores, Dios grande, poderoso, y terrible, que no acepta persona, ni toma cohecho;

18 Que hace justicia al huérfano y á la viuda; que ama también al extranjero dándole pan y vestido.

19 Amaréis pues al extranjero: porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en tierra de Egipto.

20 A Jehová tu Dios temerás, á él servirás, á él te allegarás, y por su nombre jurarás.

21 El es tu alabanza, y él es tu Dios, que ha hecho contigo estas grandes y terribles cosas que tus ojos han visto.

22 Con setenta almas descendieron tus padres á Egipto; y ahora Jehová te ha hecho como las estrellas del cielo en multitud.

DEUTERONOMY 10

The Second Set //of Commandments

(Exodus 34.1-10)

Moses said to the people:

1 The [Lord] told me to chisel out two flat stones, just like the ones he had given me earlier. He also commanded me to make a wooden chest, then come up the mountain and meet with him.

2 He told me that he would write on the new stones the same words he had written on the ones I broke, and that I could put these stones in this sacred chest.
3 So I made a chest out of acacia wood, and I chiseled two flat stones like the ones I broke. Then I carried the stones up the mountain,

4 where the [Lord] wrote the Ten Commandments on them, just as he had done the first time. The commandments were exactly what he had announced from the fire, when you were gathered at the mountain.
After the [Lord] returned the stones to me,

5 I took them down the mountainside and put them in the chest, just as he had commanded. And they are still there.

Aaron Died

(Numbers 20.22-29)

Moses said to Israel:


6  t Later we set up camp at the wells belonging to the descendants of Jaakan.t Then we moved on and camped at Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar became the priest.

7 Next, we camped at Gudgodah and then at Jotbathah, where there are flowing streams.

The Levites Were Appointed //To Carry the Chest

Moses said to Israel:


8  t After I put the two stones in the sacred chest, t the [Lord] chose the tribe of Levi, not only to carry the chest, but also to serve as his priests at the place of worship and to bless the other tribes in his name. And they still do these things.

9 The [Lord] promised that he would always provide for the tribe of Levi, and that's why he won't give them any land, when he divides it among the other tribes.

The [Lord] Answered //the Prayers of Moses

(Exodus 34.9,10, 27-29)

Moses said to Israel:


10  t When I had taken the second set of stones up the mountain, I spent 40 days and nights there, just as I had done before. Once again, the [Lord] answered my prayer and did not destroy you.

11 Instead, he told me, “Moses, get ready to lead the people into the land that I promised their ancestors.”t

What the [Lord] Wants

Moses said:


12 People of Israel, what does the [Lord] your God want from you? The [Lord] wants you to respect and follow him, to love and serve him with all your heart and soul,

13 and to obey his laws and teachings that I am giving you today. Do this, and all will go well for you.
14 Everything belongs to the [Lord] your God, not only the earth and everything on it, but also the sky and the highest heavens.

15 Yet the [Lord] loved your ancestors and wanted them to belong to him. So he chose them and their descendants rather than any other nation, and today you are still his people.
16 Remember your agreement with the [Lord] and stop being so stubborn. 17 t The [Lord] your God is more powerful than all other gods and lords, and his tremendous power is to be feared. His decisions are always fair, and you cannot bribe him to change his mind. 18 t The [Lord] defends the rights of orphans and widows. He cares for foreigners and gives them food and clothing.

19 And you should also care for them, because you were foreigners in Egypt.
20 Respect the [Lord] your God, be faithful, and serve only him, making promises in his name.

21 Offer your praises to him, because you have seen him work such terrifying miracles for you.
22  t When your ancestors went to live in Egypt, there were only 70 of them. But the [Lord] has blessed you, and now there are more of you than there are stars in the sky.
