Deuteronomy 9:11
9:11 Now at the end of the forty days and nights the Lord presented me with the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
Deuteronomy 10:2
10:2 I will write on the tablets the same words 1 that were on the first tablets you broke, and you must put them into the ark.”
Deuteronomy 9:17
9:17 I grabbed the two tablets, threw them down, 2 and shattered them before your very eyes.
1 sn The same words. The care with which the replacement copy must be made underscores the importance of verbal precision in relaying the Lord’s commandments.
2 tn The Hebrew text includes “from upon my two hands,” but as this seems somewhat obvious and redundant, it has been left untranslated for stylistic reasons.
