Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Deuteronomy 9
²⁷ Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look at the stubbornness of this people or at their wickedness or their sin.
²⁸ Otherwise the land from which You brought us may say, "Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which He had promised them and because He hated them He has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness."
²⁹ Yet they are Your people, even Your inheritance, whom You have brought out by Your great power and Your outstretched arm.’
Deuteronomy 10
¹ "At that time the Lord said to me, ’Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood for yourself.
² I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and you shall put them in the ark.’
³ So I made an ark of acacia wood and cut out two tablets of stone like the former ones, and went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.
⁴ He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, the Ten Commandments which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me.
⁵ Then I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the Lord commanded me."
⁶ (Now the sons of Israel set out from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and there he was buried and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his place.
⁷ From there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
⁸ At 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 serve Him and to bless in His name until this day.
