Texts -- Deuteronomy 10:6-11 (NET)

Context
Conclusion of the Historical Resume
10:6 “During those days the Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-Yaaqan to Moserah . There Aaron died and was buried , and his son Eleazar became priest in his place . 10:7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah , and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah , a place of flowing streams . 10:8 At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the Lord’s covenant , to stand before the Lord to serve him, and to formulate blessings in his name , as they do to this very day . 10:9 Therefore Levi has no allotment or inheritance among his brothers ; the Lord is his inheritance just as the Lord your God told him. 10:10 As for me, I stayed at the mountain as I did the first time , forty days and nights . The Lord listened to me that time as well and decided not to destroy you. 10:11 Then he said to me, “Get up , set out leading the people so they may go and possess the land I promised to give to their ancestors .”
