The Second Pair of Tablets
1 “At that time the Lord said to me,1 ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain and make yourself an aark of wood.
2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and ayou shall put them in the ark.’
3 “So I made an ark of acacia wood, hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.
4 And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten1 Commandments, awhich the Lord had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me.
5 Then I turned and acame down from the mountain, and bput the tablets in the ark which I had made; cand there they are, just as the Lord commanded me.”
6 (Now the children of Israel journeyed from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron adied, and where he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his1 stead.
7 aFrom there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of rivers of water.
8 At that time athe Lord separated the tribe of Levi bto bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, cto stand before the Lord to minister to Him and dto bless in His name, to this day.
9 aTherefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the Lord your God promised him.)
10 “As at the first time, aI stayed in the mountain forty days and forty nights; bthe Lord also heard me at that time, and the Lord chose not to destroy you.
