Deuteronomy 10:9-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
9 Therefore, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, just as the LORD your God spoke to him.)
10
'I, moreover, stayed on the mountain for forty days and forty nights like the first time, and the LORD listened to me that time also; the LORD was not willing to destroy you.
11
Then the LORD said to me, ‘Arise, proceed on your journey ahead of the people, so that they may go in and take possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.’
12
'And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13
and to keep the LORD’S commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?
14
Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.
15
Yet the LORD set His affection on your fathers, to love them, and He chose their descendants after them, you over all the other peoples, as it is this day.
16
So circumcise your heart, and do not stiffen your neck any longer.
17
For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who does not show partiality, nor take a bribe.
18
He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the stranger by giving him food and clothing.
19
So show your love for the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20
You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve Him, and cling to Him, and you shall swear by His name.
King James Version
Chapter 10
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
9 For this reason, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance like his brothers; the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God told him.
10
"I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights like the first time. The Lord also listened to me on this occasion; he agreed not to annihilate you.
11
Then the Lord said to me, 'Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to give their ancestors.'
12
"And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you except to fear the Lord your God by walking in all his ways, to love him, and to worship the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul?
13
Keep the Lord's commands and statutes I am giving you today, for your own good.
14
The heavens, indeed the highest heavens, belong to the Lord your God, as does the earth and everything in it.
15
Yet the Lord had his heart set on your ancestors and loved them. He chose their descendants after them--he chose you out of all the peoples, as it is today.
16
Therefore, circumcise your hearts and don't be stiff-necked any longer.
17
For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awe-inspiring God, showing no partiality and taking no bribe.
18
He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the resident alien, giving him food and clothing.
19
You are also to love the resident alien, since you were resident aliens in the land of Egypt.
20
You are to fear the Lord your God and worship him. Remain faithful to him and take oaths in his name.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
9 That is why the Levites have no share of property or possession of land among the other Israelite tribes. The LORD himself is their special possession, as the LORD your God told them.)
10
'As for me, I stayed on the mountain in the LORD's presence for forty days and nights, as I had done the first time. And once again the LORD listened to my pleas and agreed not to destroy you.
11
Then the LORD said to me, 'Get up and resume the journey, and lead the people to the land I swore to give to their ancestors, so they may take possession of it.'
12
'And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the LORD your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul.
13
And you must always obey the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good.
14
'Look, the highest heavens and the earth and everything in it all belong to the LORD your God.
15
Yet the LORD chose your ancestors as the objects of his love. And he chose you, their descendants, above all other nations, as is evident today.
16
Therefore, change your hearts and stop being stubborn.
17
'For the LORD your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed.
18
He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing.
19
So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20
You must fear the LORD your God and worship him and cling to him. Your oaths must be in his name alone.
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
9 Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers. The LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God said to him.)
10
“I myself stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and the LORD listened to me that time also. The LORD was unwilling to destroy you.
11
And the LORD said to me, ‘Arise, go on your journey at the head of the people, so that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.’
12
“And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13
and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good?
14
Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it.
15
Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day.
16
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn.
17
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.
18
He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.
19
Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
20
You shall fear the LORD your God. You shall serve him and hold fast to him, and by his name you shall swear.
New International Version
Chapter 10
9 That is why the Levites have no share or inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the LORD is their inheritance, as the LORD your God told them.)
10
Now I had stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, as I did the first time, and the LORD listened to me at this time also. It was not his will to destroy you.
11
Go,' the LORD said to me, 'and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.'
12
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13
and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
14
To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
15
Yet the LORD set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations--as it is today.
16
Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer.
17
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
18
He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.
19
And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.
20
Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name.
