Deuteronomy 10:1-5 ESV
“At that time the Lord said to me, Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain and make an ark of wood. And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.’ So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. And he wrote on the tablets, in the same writing as before, the Ten Commandments that the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly. And the Lord gave them to me. Then 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.”
This may foreshadow writing the law on our hearts after the law written on stone crumbles with disobedience. The second set of tablets are placed in the ark which signifies Christ. It is the same word of God that would find ultimate expression in the Son. The Son would come down from the mountain of God to speak the word of God.
Out of the midst of the fire comes the voice of the all consuming God.
This time it is brought all the way down and in our hearts. Here the Holy Spirit seals and leads us.
There it is, there they are.
