¹ At that time the Lord said to me: Hew thee two tables of stone like the former, and come up to me into the mount: and thou shalt make an ark of mood,

² And I will write on the tables the words that were in them, which thou brokest before, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

³ And I made an ark of setim wood And when I had hewn two tables of stone like the former, I went up into the mount, having them in my hands.

⁴ And he wrote in the tables, according as he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the fire, when the people were assembled: and he gave them to me.

⁵ And returning from the mount, I came down, and put the tables into the ark, that I had made, and they are there till this present, as the Lord commanded me.

⁶ And the children of Israel removed their camp from Beroth of the children of Jacan into Mosera, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him in the priestly office.

⁷ From thence they came to Gadgad, from which place they departed, and camped in Jetebatha, in a land of waters and torrents.

⁸ At that time he separated the tribe of Levi, to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to stand before him in the ministry, and to bless in his name until this present day.

⁹ Wherefore Levi hath no part nor possession with his brethren: because the Lord himself is his possession, as the Lord thy God promised him.

¹⁰ And I stood in the mount, as before, forty days and nights: and the Lord heard me this time also, and would not destroy thee.

¹¹ And he said to me: Go, and walk before the people, that they may enter, and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would give them.

¹² And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but that thou fear the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

¹³ And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee?

¹⁴ Behold heaven is the Lord's thy God, and the heaven of heaven, the earth and all things that are therein.

¹⁵ And yet the Lord hath been closely joined to thy fathers, and loved them and chose their seed after them, that is to say, you, out of all nations, as this day it is proved.

¹⁶ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no more.

¹⁷ Because the Lord your God he is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great God and mighty and terrible, a who accepteth no person nor taketh bribes.

¹⁸ He doth judgment to the fatherless and the widow, loveth the stranger, and giveth him food and raiment.

¹⁹ And do you therefore love strangers, because you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

²⁰ Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him only: to him thou shalt adhere, and shalt swear by his name.

²¹ He is thy praise, and thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen.

²² In seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt: and behold now the Lord thy God hath multiplied thee as the stars of heaven.

¹ Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, no, make any baldness for the dead;

² Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.

³ Eat not the things that are unclean.

⁴ These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,

⁵ The hart and the roe, the buffle, the chamois, the pygarg, the wild goat, the camelopardalus.

⁶ Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat.

⁷ But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.

⁸ The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.

⁹ These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat.

¹⁰ Such as are without fins and scales, you shall not eat, because they are unclean.

¹¹ All birds that are clean you shall eat.

¹² The unclean eat not: to wit, the eagle, and the grype, and the osprey,

¹³ The ringtail, and the vulture, and the kite according to their kind:

¹⁴ And all of the raven's kind:

¹⁵ And the ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind:

¹⁶ The heron, and the swan, and the stork,

¹⁷ And the cormorant, the porphirion, and the night crow,

¹⁸ The bittern, and the charadrion, every one in their kind: the hoop also and the bat.

¹⁹ Every thing that creepeth, and hath little wings, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.

²⁰ All that is clean, you shall eat.

²¹ But whatsoever is dead of itself, eat not thereof. Give it to the stranger, that is within thy gates, to eat, or sell it to him: because thou art the holy people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.

²² Every year thou shalt set aside the tithes of all thy fruits that the earth bringeth forth,

²³ And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, that his name may be called upon therein, the tithe of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, and the firstborn of thy herds and thy sheep: that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God at all times.

²⁴ But when the way and the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, are far off, and he hath blessed thee, and thou canst not carry all these things thither,

²⁵ Thou shalt sell them all, and turn them into money, and shalt carry it in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the Lord shall choose :

²⁶ And thou shalt buy with the same money whatsoever pleaseth thee, either of the herds or of sheep, wine also and strong drink, and all that thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, and shalt feast, thou and thy house:

²⁷ And the Levite that is within thy gates, beware thou forsake him not, because he hath no other part in thy possession.

²⁸ The third year thou shalt separate another tithe of all things that grow to thee at that time, and shalt lay it up within thy gates.

²⁹ And the Levite that hath no other part nor possession with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come and shall eat and be filled: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands that thou shalt do.
