Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 10:1–3

¹At that time the LORD said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood. ²And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you are to place them in the ark.”

³So I made an ark of acacia wood, chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.
