1 After that the Lord told me, "Cut out two stone tablets just like the first ones, make an Ark out of wood, and come up to me on the mountain. 2 I will write the same words on the tablets that were on the first ones, which you broke. Then put them in the Ark."
3 I made an Ark out of acacia wood, cut out two stone tablets like the first ones, and went up the mountain carrying them. 4 The Lord wrote what he had before on the tablets, the Ten Commandments that he’d told you when he spoke from the fire on the mountain when we were all assembled there. The Lord gave them to me, 5 and I went back down the mountain and put them in the Ark I’d made following the Lord’s instructions. They have been there ever since.
