8. At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
9. Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God spake unto him.)
10. And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and the Lord hearkened unto me that time also; the Lord would not destroy thee.
11. And the Lord 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 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?
