Deuteronomy 10:5

5 reversusque de monte descendi et posui tabulas in arcam quam feceram quae hucusque ibi sunt sicut mihi praecepit Dominus

Deuteronomy 10:5 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:5

And I turned myself
From the Lord, out of whose hands he had received the tables:

and came down from the mount;
with the two tables in his hand as before, one in one hand, and the other in the other hand:

and put the tables in the ark which I had made;
or ordered to be made:

and there they be, as the Lord commanded me;
there they were when Moses rehearsed what is contained in this book, on the plains of Moab, about thirty eight years after the putting them, into it; and there they continued to be when the ark was brought into Solomon's temple, ( 1 Kings 8:9 ) and there they were as long as the ark was in being; which may denote the continuance of the law in the hands of Christ under the Gospel dispensation as a rule of walk and conversation to his people.
