Deuteronomy 10:1–8

The Tablets Rewritten

¹“At that time Yahweh said to me, ‘^aCarve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to Me on the mountain, and ^bmake an ark of wood for yourself.

²‘^aAnd I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and ^byou shall put them in the ark.’

³“So ^aI made an ark of acacia wood and ^bcarved out two tablets of stone like the former ones and went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.

⁴“And He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, ^athe Ten ¹Commandments ^bwhich Yahweh had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire ^con the day of the assembly; and Yahweh gave them to me.

⁵“Then I turned and ^acame down from the mountain and ^bput the tablets in the ark which I had made; ^cand there they are, as Yahweh commanded me.”

⁶(Now the sons of Israel set out from ¹Beeroth ^aBene-jaakan to Moserah. ^bThere Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his place.

^7aFrom there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

^8aAt that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh ^bto minister for Him and to bless in His name to this day.
