Deuteronomy 10:8

"At that time, Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister unto him, and to bless in his name unto this day. Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spake unto him. And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also; Jehovah would not destroy thee. And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them."

"At that time" is a reference to the time of the golden calf incident.[17]

"Unto this day" (Deuteronomy 10:8) is an expression that Moses often injected into his discourse, and it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, any proof of a LATE DATE or of a DIFFERENT AUTHOR from Moses. Of course, critics jump at the chance to use the passage exactly that way.[18]
