It refers to the period after the Israelites' idolatry with the golden calf, as described in <a href="/exodus/32.htm">Exodus 32</a>. The LORD's communication with Moses highlights the ongoing relationship and covenant between God and His chosen leader. This divine instruction underscores God's willingness to renew the covenant despite Israel's previous disobedience.Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals The original tablets, inscribed by God, were broken by Moses in anger (<a href="/exodus/32-19.htm">Exodus 32:19</a>) when he saw the Israelites worshiping the golden calf. The command to chisel new tablets signifies God's grace and the restoration of the covenant. Stone tablets symbolize permanence and the enduring nature of God's law. This act prefigures the new covenant written on the hearts of believers (<a href="/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Jeremiah 31:33</a>).come up to Me on the mountain The mountain, likely Mount Sinai, is a place of divine revelation and encounter. It is where Moses previously received the Law (Exodus 19-20). Mountains in biblical literature often represent places of closeness to God and spiritual significance. This ascent signifies Moses' role as mediator between God and Israel, a type of Christ who mediates the new covenant (<a href="/hebrews/8-6.htm">Hebrews 8:6</a>).and make an ark of wood The ark, later known as the Ark of the Covenant, was to house the stone tablets. Made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold (<a href="/exodus/25-10.htm">Exodus 25:10-22</a>), it symbolizes God's presence among His people. The ark's construction from wood points to the humanity of Christ, while its gold overlay signifies His divinity. The ark's role as a container for the Law foreshadows Christ as the fulfillment of the Law (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to deliver His laws and commandments to the people.

And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.">Exodus 34:28</a>).Hew thee two tables of stone . . . and make thee an ark.--The command to make the ark was given in the former period of forty days (<a href="/exodus/25-10.htm" title="And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.">Exodus 25:10</a>); the command to hew the two tables was given after Moses had seen the glory of God (Exodus 33) from the cleft in the rock, but before the forty days spent in intercession. Rashi, the Jewish commentator, thinks there were two arks: one to go out to war, and the other to remain in the tabernacle. But there is no foundation for this statement. There may, of course, have been a temporary receptacle for the tables made by Moses (like the temporary tabernacle mentioned in <a href="/exodus/33-7.htm" title="And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out to the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.">Exodus 33:7</a>), to receive them until the completion of the ark which Bezaleel was to make. This was not put in hand until after Moses descended with the second pair of tables. (See Exodus 35 &c.)<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/deuteronomy/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 1. - At that time. When Moses thus interceded, God commanded him to prepare two new tables of stone, and to construct an ark in which to keep them (cf. <a href="/exodus/34-1.htm">Exodus 34:1</a>, etc.). Directions had been given for the construction of the ark before the apostasy of the people, and it was not made till after the tabernacle had been erected, nor were the tables placed in it till the tabernacle had been consecrated (cf. <a href="/exodus/25-10.htm">Exodus 25:10</a>, etc.; Exodus 40:20). But as the things themselves were closely connected, Moses mentions them here together, without regard to chronological order. <a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>At that הַהִ֜וא (ha·hi·w) Article | Pronoun - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are time בָּעֵ֨ת (bā·‘êṯ) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6256.htm">Strong's 6256: </a> Time, now, when the LORD יְהוָ֣ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel said אָמַ֧ר (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say to me, אֵלַ֗י (’ê·lay) Preposition | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to “Chisel פְּסָל־ (pə·sāl-) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6458.htm">Strong's 6458: </a> To hew, hew into shape two שְׁנֵֽי־ (šə·nê-) Number - mdc <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8147.htm">Strong's 8147: </a> Two (a cardinal number) stone אֲבָנִים֙ (’ă·ḇā·nîm) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_68.htm">Strong's 68: </a> A stone tablets לֻוחֹ֤ת‪‬‪‬‪‬ (lū·ḥōṯ) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3871.htm">Strong's 3871: </a> To glisten, a tablet, of stone, wood, metal like the first ones, כָּרִ֣אשֹׁנִ֔ים (kā·ri·šō·nîm) Preposition-k, Article | Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7223.htm">Strong's 7223: </a> First, in place, time, rank come up וַעֲלֵ֥ה (wa·‘ă·lêh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5927.htm">Strong's 5927: </a> To ascend, in, actively to Me אֵלַ֖י (’ê·lay) Preposition | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to on the mountain, הָהָ֑רָה (hā·hā·rāh) Article | Noun - masculine singular | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2022.htm">Strong's 2022: </a> Mountain, hill, hill country and make וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ (wə·‘ā·śî·ṯā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make an ark אֲר֥וֹן (’ă·rō·wn) Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_727.htm">Strong's 727: </a> A chest, ark of wood. עֵֽץ׃ (‘êṣ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6086.htm">Strong's 6086: </a> Tree, trees, wood <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">Deuteronomy 10:1 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/10-1.htm">OT Law: Deuteronomy 10:1 At that time Yahweh said to me (Deut.
