Deuteronomio 10:2

2 e io scriverò su quelle tavole le parole che erano sulle prime che tu spezzasti, e tu le metterai nell’arca".

Deuteronomio 10:2 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:2

And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first
tables, which thou brakest
^F1 Though they were hewn by Moses, the writing on them was the Lord's; and the very same laws, in the same words, without any alteration or variation, were written by him on these as on the former; partly to show the authenticity of them, that they were of God and not Moses, of a divine original and not human; and partly to show the invariableness of them, that no change had been made in them, though they had been broken by the people; of which Moses's breaking the tables was a representation;

and thou shall put them in the ark;
which being a type of Christ may signify the fulfilment of the law by him, who is the end, the fulfilling end of the law for righteousness to every believer; and that as this was in his heart to fulfil it, so it is in his hand as a rule of faith and conversation to his people.

Deuteronomio 10:2 In-Context

1 In quel tempo, l’Eterno mi disse: "Tagliati due tavole di pietra simili alle prime, e sali da me sul monte; fatti anche un’arca di legno;

2 e io scriverò su quelle tavole le parole che erano sulle prime che tu spezzasti, e tu le metterai nell’arca".

3 Io feci allora un’arca di legno d’acacia, e tagliai due tavole di pietra simili alle prime; poi salii sul monte, tenendo le due tavole in mano.

4 E l’Eterno scrisse su quelle due tavole ciò che era stato scritto la prima volta, cioè le dieci parole che l’Eterno avea pronunziate per voi sul monte, di mezzo al fuoco, il giorno della raunanza. E l’Eterno me le diede.

5 Allora mi volsi e scesi dal monte; misi le tavole nell’arca che avevo fatta, e quivi stanno, come l’Eterno mi aveva ordinato.
