Deuteronomy 10:1-5

Good News Translation

Moses Receives the Commandments Again^(A)

10 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones and make a wooden Box to put them in. Come up to me on the mountain, ² and I will write on those tablets what I wrote on the tablets that you broke, and then you are to put them in the Box.’

³ “So I made a Box of acacia wood and cut two stone tablets like the first ones and took them up the mountain. ⁴ Then the Lord wrote on those tablets the same words that he had written the first time, the Ten Commandments that he gave you when he spoke from the fire on the day you were gathered at the mountain. The Lord gave me the tablets, ⁵ and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as the Lord had commanded, I put them in the Box that I had made—and they have been there ever since.”
