Commentary on Deuteronomy 10:5

Theological / Devotional

Came down. That is, at the close of the 40 days and nights (Exodus 34:28, 29; cf. Exodus 32:15 and Deuteronomy 9:15).

The ark. Made by Bezaleel under the direction of Moses (Exodus 37:1; see on Deuteronomy 10:1). The ark was placed in the tabernacle, upon its completion, with the two tables of stone in it in harmony with God’s instructions (Exodus 40:20, 21).

There they be. They were still in the ark several centuries later (1 Kings 8:1,9), during Solomon’s reign. There is no record that they were ever removed from the ark. They are there today (PK 453), and “will be presented before the world as the standard of righteousness” (EGW in RH Jan. 28, 1909, p. 8).
