Deuteronomy 10:2

"At that time the LORD said to me, “Cut two stone tablets like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood."

Key Reflection

At that time, when Moses received this commandment from the LORD, he was instructed to create two new stone tablets identical to the first ones broken by his hands at Sinai. This task signified a renewal of God's covenant, emphasizing the importance and continuity of the law. The ark of wood, which would hold these tablets, symbolized the portable sanctuary, allowing the presence of God to travel with the Israelites as they journeyed through the wilderness.
