8. At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the Lord’s covenant, to stand before the Lord to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
9. Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; the Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord your God spoke to him.)
10. I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and the Lord listened to me that time also; the Lord would not destroy you.
11. The Lord said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.”
12. Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13. to keep the Lord’s commandments and statutes, which I command you today for your good?
14. Behold, to the Lord your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.
15. Only the Lord had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today.
16. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
17. For the Lord your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons, nor takes reward.
