7. From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
8. At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
9. Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spake unto him.)
10. And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also; Jehovah would not destroy thee.
11. And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
12. And now, Israel, what doth Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
13. to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14. Behold, unto Jehovah thy God belongeth heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.
15. Only Jehovah had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.
16. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
