GOD'S MERCY IN RESTORING THE TWO TABLES. (Deu. 10:1-22)
At that time the Lord said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first--It was when God had been pacified through the intercessions of Moses with the people who had so greatly offended Him by the worship of the golden calf. The obedient leader executed the orders he had received as to the preparation both of the hewn stones, and the ark or chest in which those sacred archives were to be laid. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
These verses are closely connected with the preceding chapter, and state very briefly the results of the intercession of Moses recorded in Deu 9:25-29. The people are reminded that all their blessings and privileges, forfeited by apostasy as soon as bestowed, were only now their own by a new and most unmerited act of grace on the part of God, won from Him by the self-sacrificing mediation of Moses himself Deu 10:10.
Deu 10:1-5. The order for making the ark and tabernacle was evidently given before the apostasy of the people (Exo. 25ff); but the tables were not put in the ark until the completion and dedication of the tabernacle Exo. 40. But here as elsewhere (compare the Deu 9:1 note) Moses connects transactions closely related to each other and to his purpose without regard to the order of occurrence.
Deu 10:6
There Aaron died - i. e., while the people were encamped in Mosera or Moseroth. In Deu 32:50; as well as in Num 20:25 ff Mount Hor is assigned as the place of Aaron's death. It is plain then that Moserah was in the neighborhood of Mount Hor. The appointment of Eleazar to minister in place of Aaron, is referred to as a proof of the completeness and fulness of the reconciliation effected between God and the people by Moses. Though Aaron was sentenced to die in the wilderness for his sin at Meribah, yet God provided for the perpetuation of the high priesthood, so that the people would not suffer. Compare Deu 9:20 and note.
Deu 10:8
At that time - i. e., that of the encampment at Sinai, as the words also import in Deu 10:1. Throughout the passage the time of the important events at Sinai is kept in view; it is reverted to as each incident is brought forward by Moses, alluded to sufficiently for his purpose, and dismissed.
Moses is evidently here speaking of the election by God of the tribe of Levi at large, priests and others also, for His own service. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| In Deu 10:1-5 Moses briefly relates the success of his earnest intercession. "At that time," of his intercession, God commanded him to hew out new tables, and prepare an ark in which to keep them (cf. Exo 34:1.). Here again Moses links together such things as were substantially connected, without strictly confining himself to the chronological order, which was already well known from the historical account, inasmuch as this was not required by the general object of his address. God had already given directions for the preparation of the ark of the covenant, before the apostasy of the nation (Exo 25:10.); but it was not made till after the tabernacle had been built, and the tables were only deposited in the ark when the tabernacle was consecrated (Exo 40:20). |

| Hew thee two tables of stone - See the notes on Exo 34:1. |
1 At that time [06256] the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Hew [06458] thee two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223], and come up [05927] unto me into the mount [02022], and make [06213] thee an ark [0727] of wood [06086].
8 At that time [06256] the LORD [03068] separated [0914] the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878], to bear [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], to stand [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068] to minister [08334] unto him, and to bless [01288] in his name [08034], unto this day [03117].
20 And the LORD [03068] was very [03966] angry [0599] with Aaron [0175] to have destroyed [08045] him: and I prayed [06419] for Aaron [0175] also the same time [06256].
25 Take [03947] Aaron [0175] and Eleazar [0499] his son [01121], and bring them up [05927] unto mount [02022] Hor [02023]:
50 And die [04191] in the mount [02022] whither thou goest up [05927], and be gathered [0622] unto thy people [05971]; as Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251] died [04191] in mount [02022] Hor [02023], and was gathered [0622] unto his people [05971]:
6 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] took their journey [05265] from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan [0885] to Mosera [04149]: there Aaron [0175] died [04191], and there he was buried [06912]; and Eleazar [0499] his son [01121] ministered in the priest's office [03547] in his stead.
1 Hear [08085], O Israel [03478]: Thou art to pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] this day [03117], to go in [0935] to possess [03423] nations [01471] greater [01419] and mightier [06099] than thyself, cities [05892] great [01419] and fenced up [01219] to heaven [08064],
1 At that time [06256] the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Hew [06458] thee two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223], and come up [05927] unto me into the mount [02022], and make [06213] thee an ark [0727] of wood [06086].
2 And I will write [03789] on the tables [03871] the words [01697] that were in the first [07223] tables [03871] which thou brakest [07665], and thou shalt put [07760] them in the ark [0727].
3 And I made [06213] an ark [0727] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and hewed [06458] two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223], and went up [05927] into the mount [02022], having the two [08147] tables [03871] in mine hand [03027].
4 And he wrote [03789] on the tables [03871], according to the first [07223] writing [04385], the ten [06235] commandments [01697], which the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto you in the mount [02022] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784] in the day [03117] of the assembly [06951]: and the LORD [03068] gave [05414] them unto me.
5 And I turned [06437] myself and came down [03381] from the mount [02022], and put [07760] the tables [03871] in the ark [0727] which I had made [06213]; and there they be, as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] me.
10 And I stayed [05975] in the mount [02022], according to the first [07223] time [03117], forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915]; and the LORD [03068] hearkened [08085] unto me at that time [06471] also, and the LORD [03068] would [014] not destroy [07843] thee.
25 Thus I fell down [05307] before [06440] the LORD [03068] forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915], as I fell down [05307] at the first; because the LORD [03068] had said [0559] he would destroy [08045] you.
26 I prayed [06419] therefore unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], destroy [07843] not thy people [05971] and thine inheritance [05159], which thou hast redeemed [06299] through thy greatness [01433], which thou hast brought forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714] with a mighty [02389] hand [03027].
27 Remember [02142] thy servants [05650], Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Jacob [03290]; look [06437] not unto the stubbornness [07190] of this people [05971], nor to their wickedness [07562], nor to their sin [02403]:
28 Lest the land [0776] whence thou broughtest us out [03318] say [0559], Because the LORD [03068] was not able [03201] to bring [0935] them into the land [0776] which he promised [01696] them, and because he hated [08135] them, he hath brought them out [03318] to slay [04191] them in the wilderness [04057].
29 Yet they are thy people [05971] and thine inheritance [05159], which thou broughtest out [03318] by thy mighty [01419] power [03581] and by thy stretched out [05186] arm [02220].
1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Hew [06458] thee two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223]: and I will write [03789] upon these tables [03871] the words [01697] that were in the first [07223] tables [03871], which thou brakest [07665].
