Context of Deuteronomy 10:5

3So I used acacia wood to make a box. I also cut two new flat stones that were like the first stones. Then I carried the two new stones up the mountain in my hands. 4The Lord wrote on the stones the same words that he had written before. Those were the ten special commands that he had told you before. He spoke those commands from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when you came together there. Then the Lord gave the stones to me. I came down from the mountain. I put the stones into the box that I had made, as the Lord had told me to do. The stones are still there now. 6(At that time, the Israelites travelled to Moserah from the wells that belonged to Jaakan's descendants. Aaron died there and they buried him. His son Eleazar became priest instead. 7Then they travelled to Gudgodah. From there they travelled to Jotbathah, a place where there are many streams of water.
