nsb - Deuteronomy:9:7-10:11

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:7 @ »Never forget how you made Jehovah your God angry in the desert. You rebelled against Jehovah from the day you left Egypt until you came here.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:8 @ »Even at Mount Horeb you made Jehovah so angry that he wanted to destroy you.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:9 @ »When I went up on the mountain to get the stone tablets, the tablets of the promise that Jehovah made to you, I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights without food or water.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:10 @ »Then Jehovah gave me the two stone tablets inscribed by Gods finger. On them were written all the words Jehovah spoke to you from the fire on the mountain on the day of the assembly.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:11 @ »At the end of forty days and nights Jehovah gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:12 @ »Jehovah said to me: Go down from here quickly, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly. They quickly turned aside from the way that I commanded them. They have made a cast-idol for themselves.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:13 @ »Jehovah spoke further to me: I have seen this people. They are a very stubborn people.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:14 @ »Leave me alone that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:15 @ »So I turned and came down from the mountain while the mountain was burning with fire. I carried the two stone tablets of the covenant in my two hands.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:16 @ »I saw that you had indeed sinned against Jehovah your God. You made yourselves an idol, cast in the shape of a calf. You turned aside quickly from the way Jehovah had commanded you.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:17 @ »I took hold of the two tablets and threw them from my hands and smashed them before your eyes.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:18 @ »I fell down before Jehovah. Like the first, forty days and nights I did not eat or drink. This was because of all your sin you committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Jehovah to provoke Him to anger.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:19 @ »I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure from Jehovah. For he was wrathful against you to the point of destroying you! But Jehovah listened to me that time also.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:20 @ »Jehovah was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him! So I also prayed for Aaron at the same time.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:21 @ »I took your sinful thing, the calf that you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it. I ground it very small until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that flowed down the mountain.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:22 @ »Again at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you provoked Jehovah to anger.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:23 @ »Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea. He said: Go up and possess the land I have given you. Then you rebelled against the command of Jehovah your God. You did not believe him. You did not listen to his voice!

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:24 @ »You have rebelled against Jehovah from the day I knew you.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:25 @ »So I fell down prostrate before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights. I did this because Jehovah said he would destroy you.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:26 @ »I prayed to Jehovah and said: O Jehovah our God, do not destroy your people for they are your inheritance. You have redeemed them through your greatness. You brought them out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:27 @ »»Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not look at the stubbornness of this people or at their wickedness or their sin.

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:28 @ »»The land from which you brought us may say: »Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land he promised them and because he hated them he has brought them out to slay them in the desert wilderness.«

nsb@Deuteronomy:9:29 @ »Even now they are your people, your inheritance, whom you brought out by your great power and outstretched arm.«

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:1 @ »Jehovah said to me: Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones. Come up to me on the mountain, and build an ark of wood for yourself.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:2 @ »I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you shattered. You must place them in the Ark.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:3 @ »I made an Ark out of acacia wood and cut out two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then I took the two tablets in my hands and went up on the mountain.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:4 @ »He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing. It was the Ten Commandments that Jehovah proclaimed to you on the mountain. It was from the middle of the fire on the day of the assembly. Jehovah gave them to me.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:5 @ »Then I came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the Ark I had made. They are there just as Jehovah commanded me.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:6 @ The sons of Israel set out from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died. He was buried there. Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his place.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:7 @ From there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:8 @ Jehovah then set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the covenant of Jehovah. They were to stand before Jehovah to serve and pronounce blessings in his name until this day.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:9 @ Levi does not have a portion or inheritance with his brothers. Jehovah is his inheritance; just as Jehovah your God spoke to him.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:10 @ »I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights like the first time. Jehovah listened to me this time also. Jehovah was not willing to destroy you.

nsb@Deuteronomy:10:11 @ »Jehovah said to me: Arise and proceed on your journey ahead of the people. That way they may go in and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.
