Context of Deuteronomy 10:3
1At that time Yhwh said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 2And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. 4And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yhwh spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: And Yhwh gave them unto me. 5And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as Yhwh commanded me.
