Tablets Like the First Ones
1At that time the Lord said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark.10:1 That is, a chest 2I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”
3So I made the ark out of acacia wood and chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. 4The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments he had proclaimed to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly. And the Lord gave them to me. 5Then I came back down the mountain and put the tablets in the ark I had made, as the Lord commanded me, and they are there now.
6(The Israelites traveled from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest. 7From there they traveled to Gudgodah and on to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water. 8At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister and to pronounce blessings in his name, as they still do today. 9That 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.)
10Now 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.”
Fear the Lord
12And 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, 13and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
14To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. 15Yet 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. 16Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. 17For 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. 18He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. 19And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. 20Fear the Lord your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. 21He is the one you praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes. 22Your ancestors who went down into Egypt were seventy in all, and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.
摩西重新接受诫命
1“当时耶和华对我说，‘你要凿出两块石版，与前两块一样，也要做一个木柜，然后上山来见我。 2我要把你摔碎的那两块石版上的话重新写在你凿的石版上。你要把它们放在柜子里。’ 3于是，我用皂荚木做了一个柜子，又凿出两块石版，与前两块一样，然后带着石版上了山。 4耶和华把你们在山脚下聚会时，祂在山上的火焰中向你们颁布的十条诫命，重新刻在石版上，并把石版交给我。 5我下山后，遵照耶和华的吩咐把石版放在我做的柜子里。现在石版仍放在那里。
6“我们从亚干人的井10:6 “亚干人的井”或译“比罗比尼·亚干”或“比尼亚干井”。出发，来到摩西拉。亚伦死在那里，并葬在那里，他儿子以利亚撒接替他做大祭司。 7我们从那里走到谷歌大，又走到溪流之乡约巴他。 8那时，耶和华把利未支派分别出来，派他们抬祂的约柜，侍立在祂面前事奉祂，奉祂的名祝福，至今未变。 9因此，利未人在众支派中没有分到土地作产业，耶和华是他们的产业，这是你们的上帝耶和华对他们的应许。
10“和前一次一样，我又在山上待了四十昼夜，耶和华又听了我的祈求，答应不毁灭你们。 11耶和华对我说，‘起来，带民众走吧，去占领我起誓要赐给他们祖先的土地。’
耶和华的要求
12“以色列人啊，你们的上帝耶和华对你们有何要求？无非要你们敬畏祂，遵行祂的旨意，爱祂，全心全意地事奉祂， 13遵守祂的诫命和律例。我今天把这些诫命和律例赐给你们，是为了你们的益处。 14看啊，天和天上的天、大地和地上的万物，都属于你们的上帝耶和华。 15但耶和华只喜爱你们的祖先，从万族中拣选了他们的后裔——你们，正如今日的情形。 16所以，你们要洗心革面，不可再顽固不化。 17你们的上帝耶和华是万神之神、万主之主，是伟大、全能、可畏的上帝。祂不徇情面，不受贿赂； 18祂为孤儿寡妇主持公道，关爱寄居者，供给他们衣食。 19所以，你们要爱寄居者，因为你们也曾寄居埃及。 20你们要敬畏你们的上帝耶和华，事奉祂，倚靠祂，凭祂的名起誓。 21你们要赞美祂，祂是你们的上帝，你们亲眼目睹了祂为你们做的伟大而可畏的事。 22当年你们祖先下埃及时，只有七十人，现在你们的上帝耶和华使你们多如天上的星辰。
