²¹ And there I have made a place for the ark, in which is ^(A)the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

^9 (A)Nothing was in the ark ^(B)except the two tablets of stone which Moses ^(C)put there at Horeb, ^(D)when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

²⁶ “Take this Book of the Law, ^(A)and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there ^(B)as a witness against you;

⁵ Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, ^(A)sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. ⁶ Then the priests ^(B)brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to ^(C)its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, ^(D)under the wings of the cherubim.

¹¹ And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.

^9 (A)When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and ^(B)forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.

^28 (A)So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And ^(B)He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ^[a]Ten Commandments.
