Deuteronomy 9:23-10:5
New Living Translation
Deuteronomy 9:23-10:5
New Living Translation
23 And at Kadesh-barnea the Lord sent you out with this command: ‘Go up and take over the land I have given you.’ But you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God and refused to put your trust in him or obey him. 24 Yes, you have been rebelling against the Lord as long as I have known you.
25 “That is why I threw myself down before the Lord for forty days and nights—for the Lord said he would destroy you. 26 I prayed to the Lord and said, ‘O Sovereign Lord, do not destroy them. They are your own people. They are your special possession, whom you redeemed from Egypt by your mighty power and your strong hand. 27 Please overlook the stubbornness and the awful sin of these people, and remember instead your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 28 If you destroy these people, the Egyptians will say, “The Israelites died because the Lord wasn’t able to bring them to the land he had promised to give them.” Or they might say, “He destroyed them because he hated them; he deliberately took them into the wilderness to slaughter them.” 29 But they are your people and your special possession, whom you brought out of Egypt by your great strength and powerful arm.’
A New Copy of the Covenant
10 “At that time the Lord said to me, ‘Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones. Also make a wooden Ark—a sacred chest to store them in. Come up to me on the mountain, 2 and I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the ones you smashed. Then place the tablets in the Ark.’
3 “So I made an Ark of acacia wood and cut two stone tablets like the first two. Then I went up the mountain with the tablets in my hand. 4 Once again the Lord wrote the Ten Commandments[a] on the tablets and gave them to me. They were the same words the Lord had spoken to you from the heart of the fire on the day you were assembled at the foot of the mountain. 5 Then I turned and came down the mountain and placed the tablets in the Ark of the Covenant, which I had made, just as the Lord commanded me. And the tablets are still there in the Ark.”

Deuteronomy 9:23-10:5
New International Version
Deuteronomy 9:23-10:5
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)
