10:1 At that time Yahweh said to me, “Cut two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

10:2 I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.”

10:3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tables of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.

10:4 He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Yahweh gave them to me.

10:5 I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Yahweh commanded me.

10:6 (The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.

10:7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

10:8 At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

10:9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.)

10:10 I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Yahweh listened to me that time also; Yahweh would not destroy you.

10:11 Yahweh 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.”

10:12 Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

10:13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?

10:14 Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.

10:15 Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.

10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

10:17 For Yahweh 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.

10:18 He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.

10:19 Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

10:20 You shall fear Yahweh your God; you shall serve him; and you shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

10:21 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.

10:22 Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.

104:1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

104:2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

104:3 He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

104:4 He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire.

104:5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

104:7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

104:8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

104:9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

104:10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

104:11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

104:12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

104:13 He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

104:15 wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.

104:16 Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

104:17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

104:18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

7:18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.

7:19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

7:20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”

7:21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

7:22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

7:23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

7:24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

7:25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

7:26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

7:27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

7:28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

7:29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.

7:30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

7:31 “To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?

7:32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’

7:33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

7:34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

7:35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
