New Stone Tablets
(Exodus 34:1–9)
At that time the LORD said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood. Exo 34:1-2Exo 25:10-15Deu 10:3-4Exo 34:4Heb 9:4 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you are to place them in the ark.” 1Ki 8:9Deu 10:5Deu 4:13Exo 25:16-22Exo 40:20Heb 9:4
So I made an ark of acacia wood, chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. Exo 34:4Exo 25:10Exo 25:5Exo 37:1-9Deu 10:1 And the LORD wrote on the tablets what had been written previously, the Ten Commandments 1that He had spoken to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly. The LORD gave them to me, Deu 9:10Exo 34:28Deu 18:16Deu 4:11-15Heb 12:18-19Deu 5:4-26Exo 19:17-18Exo 20:1-17 and I went back down the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD had commanded me; and there they have remained. Exo 34:29Exo 40:20Deu 10:21Ki 8:8-9Deu 9:15Exo 25:16Exo 32:15Jos 4:9
The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan 2to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest. Num 33:38Num 20:23-28Num 33:30-33Num 10:12-13Num 10:6Num 33:1-2 From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water. Num 33:32-34
At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as they do to this day. Deu 21:5Deu 18:5Num 3:6Num 4:15Num 6:23-262Ch 30:27Jer 15:19Jhn 15:16 That is why Levi has no portion or inheritance among his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God promised him. Ezk 44:28Deu 18:1-2Num 18:20-24Jos 14:3Num 26:62
I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, like the first time, and that time the LORD again listened to me and agreed not to destroy you. Deu 9:18-19Deu 9:25Exo 34:28Exo 32:33-34Exo 33:17Deu 3:23-27Exo 24:18Exo 32:14
Then the LORD said to me, “Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.” Exo 33:1Exo 32:34
A Call to Obedience
(Joshua 24:14–28)
And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, Mic 6:8Deu 6:5Luk 10:27Deu 5:33Deu 11:13Mrk 12:29-33Mat 22:37Jer 32:39-40 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good? Jer 32:39Deu 6:24Jas 1:25Pro 9:12
Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it. Exo 19:5Psa 24:1Psa 115:16Neh 9:61Ki 8:27Psa 148:42Ch 6:18Exo 9:29 Yet the LORD has set His affection on your fathers and loved them. And He has chosen you, their descendants after them, above all the peoples, even to this day. Deu 4:37Deu 7:7-8Num 14:8Rom 9:13-23
Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and stiffen your necks no more. Jer 4:4Deu 30:6Lev 26:41Col 2:11Rom 2:28-29Deu 9:6Jer 4:14Deu 9:13 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe. Act 10:34Rom 2:11Dan 2:47Job 34:19Gal 2:6Neh 9:32Deu 7:21Eph 6:9 He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and He loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing. Psa 146:9Psa 68:5Jer 49:11Isa 1:17Psa 145:9Psa 103:6Exo 22:22Hos 14:3 So you also must love the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt. Exo 22:21Lev 19:33-341Jn 3:17-18Gal 6:10Jas 2:15-16Luk 17:18Luk 10:28-37Luk 6:35
You are to fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name. Deu 6:13Deu 13:4Luk 4:8Deu 11:22Mat 4:10Psa 63:11Isa 45:23Deu 4:4 He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.
