Commentary on Deuteronomy 10:1

Theological / Devotional

At that time. That is, the 40 days and nights of intercession spoken of in chapter 9, which followed this command (Exodus 34:1, 2, 28).

Hew thee. The first stone tables were provided by God (Exodus 24:12), the second by Moses.

Make thee an ark. This command was given during the first period of 40 days (Exodus 25:10). Some Jewish commentators have maintained that there were two arks, one to go before the people in their warfare and another to remain in the tabernacle, but of this there is no evidence whatever. The ark here referred to can be no other than the ark, for now, 38 years later, the tables were still where Moses first placed them (verse 5).
