6. (The Israelites journeyed from the wells of the sons of Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
7. From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and then to Jotbathah, a land of brooks [dividing the valley].
8. At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister to Him and to bless in His name unto this day.
9. Therefore Levi has no part or inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord your God promised him.)
10. And I [Moses] stayed on the mountain, as the first time, forty days and nights, and the Lord listened to me at that time also; the Lord would not destroy you.
11. And the Lord said to me, Arise, journey on before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
12. And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you but [reverently] to fear the Lord your God, [that is] to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being,
13. To keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?
14. Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord your God, the earth also, with all that is in it and on it.
15. Yet the Lord had a delight in loving your fathers, and He chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day.
16. So circumcise the foreskin of your [minds and] hearts; be no longer stubborn and hardened.
17. For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, the terrible God, Who is not partial and takes no bribe.
18. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger or temporary resident and gives him food and clothing.
19. Therefore love the stranger and sojourner, for you were strangers and sojourners in the land of Egypt.
