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 And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the ancients of Israel, and said to Aaron:

² Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.

³ And to the children of Israel thou shalt say: Take ye a he goat for sin, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, and without blemish for a holocaust,

⁴ Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings: and immolate them before the Lord, offering for the sacrifice of every one of them flour tempered with oil; for to day the Lord will appear to you.

⁵ They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,

⁶ Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: do it, and his glory will appear to you.

⁷ And he said to Aaron: Approach to the altar, and offer sacrifice for thy sin: offer the holocaust, and pray for thyself and for the people: and when thou hast slain the people's victim, pray for them, as the Lord hath commanded.

⁸ And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated the calf for his sin:

⁹ And his sons brought him the blood of it: and he dipped his finger therein, and touched the horns of the altar, and poured the rest at the foot thereof.

¹⁰ And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the caul of the liver, which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses:

¹¹ But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp.

¹² He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar.

¹³ And the victim being cut into pieces, they brought to him the head and all the members, all which he burnt with fire upon the altar,

¹⁴ Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water.

¹⁵ Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and expiating the altar,

¹⁶ He offered the holocaust:

¹⁷ Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.

¹⁸ He immolated also the bullock and the ram, the peace offerings of the people: and his sons brought him the blood, which he poured upon the altar round about.

¹⁹ The fat also of the bullock, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, and the caul of the liver,

²⁰ They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the altar,

²¹ Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

²² And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being finished, he came down.

²³ And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude:

²⁴ And behold a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured the holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar: which when the multitude saw, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.
