Thematic Bible: The tables of testimony renewed


Thematic Bible



Jehovah said to Moses: Cut two more stone tablets like the first ones. I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets that you smashed. Be ready in the morning. Come up on Mount Sinai and present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. No man may come with you or even be seen anywhere on the mountain. Even the flocks and herds may not graze in front of this mountain. read more.
Moses cut two more stone tablets. Early the next morning he carried them up Mount Sinai, just as Jehovah commanded.

Jehovah told Moses: Put these laws in writing, as part of my agreement (covenant) with Israel. Moses was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights. He did not eat bread or drink water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments (Ten Words). Moses came down from Mount Sinai. The two tablets of the testimony were in Moses' hand as he came down from the mountain. Moses did not know that the skin of his face glowed because he spoke with God.

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. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you shattered. You must place them in the Ark.' 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. read more.
He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing. It was the Ten Commandments (Ten Words) 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. 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.
