¹⁶ Then put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law,^(A) which I will give you.

The Radiant Face of Moses

²⁹ When Moses came down from Mount Sinai^(A) with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands,^(B) he was not aware that his face was radiant^(C) because he had spoken with the Lord.

² I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”^(A)

³ So I made the ark out of acacia wood^(B) and chiseled^(C) out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. ⁴ The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments^(D) he had proclaimed^(E) to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.^(F) And the Lord gave them to me. ⁵ Then I came back down the mountain^(G) and put the tablets in the ark^(H) I had made,^(I) as the Lord commanded me, and they are there now.^(J)
