Deuteronomy 9:23-10:5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Go up and occupy the land that I have given you,’ you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God, neither trusting him nor obeying him. 24 You have been rebellious against the Lord as long as he has[a] known you.(A)
25 “Throughout the forty days and forty nights that I lay prostrate before the Lord when the Lord intended to destroy you,(B) 26 I prayed to the Lord and said, ‘Lord God, do not destroy your people, your very own possession, whom you redeemed in your greatness, whom you brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.(C) 27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; pay no attention to the stubbornness of this people, their wickedness and their sin, 28 lest the land from which you have brought us say, “Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them and because he hated them, he has brought them out to let them die in the wilderness.” 29 For they are your people, your very own possession, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.’(D)
The Second Pair of Tablets
10 “At that time the Lord said to me, ‘Carve out two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.(E) 2 I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets, which you smashed, and you shall put them in the ark.’(F) 3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, cut two tablets of stone like the former ones, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.(G) 4 Then he wrote on the tablets the same words as before, the ten commandments[b] that the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly, and the Lord gave them to me.(H) 5 So I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the ark that I had made, and there they are, as the Lord commanded me.”(I)

New International Version
23 And when the Lord sent you out from Kadesh Barnea,(A) he said, “Go up and take possession(B) of the land I have given you.” But you rebelled(C) against the command of the Lord your God. You did not trust(D) him or obey him. 24 You have been rebellious against the Lord ever since I have known you.(E)
25 I lay prostrate before the Lord those forty days and forty nights(F) because the Lord had said he would destroy you.(G) 26 I prayed to the Lord and said, “Sovereign Lord, do not destroy your people,(H) your own inheritance(I) that you redeemed(J) by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.(K) 27 Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness(L) of this people, their wickedness and their sin. 28 Otherwise, the country(M) from which you brought us will say, ‘Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land he had promised them, and because he hated them,(N) he brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.’(O) 29 But they are your people,(P) your inheritance(Q) that you brought out by your great power and your outstretched arm.(R)”
Tablets Like the First Ones
10 At that time the Lord said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets(S) like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark.[a] 2 I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”(T)
3 So I made the ark out of acacia wood(U) and chiseled(V) out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. 4 The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments(W) he had proclaimed(X) to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.(Y) And the Lord gave them to me. 5 Then I came back down the mountain(Z) and put the tablets in the ark(AA) I had made,(AB) as the Lord commanded me, and they are there now.(AC)

King James Version
Deuteronomy 9:23-10:5
King James Version
23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
25 Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the Lord had said he would destroy you.
26 I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
10 At that time the Lord 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.
2 And 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.
3 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.
4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the Lord spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the Lord gave them unto me.
5 And 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 the Lord commanded me.
