Did You Know?
God wrote the Ten Commandments a second time (Exodus 34:1), because Moses broke the first set of stones (Exodus 32:19; 34:1).

Exodus 32:19 (NASB) |
It came about, as soon as Moses came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing; and Moses’ anger burned, and he threw the tablets from his hands and shattered them at the foot of the mountain.

Exodus 34:1 (NASB) |
Now the LORD said to Moses, “Cut out for yourself two stone tablets like the former ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered.

The Second set of the 10 Commandments were placed into the wooden ark (Deuteronomy 10:1-5). The Ten Commandments were written on both front and back (Exodus 32:15).
|
Exodus 32:15 (NASB) |
Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets which were written on both sides; they were written on one and the other.
|
Deuteronomy 10:1-5 (NASB)
“At that time the LORD said to me, ‘Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood for yourself. ‘I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and you shall put them in the ark.’ So I made an ark of acacia wood and cut out two tablets of stone like the former ones, and went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. “He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, the Ten Commandments which the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me. “Then I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.”
