²⁸ And for forty days and forty nights Moses was there with the Lord, and in that time he had no food or drink. And he put in writing on the stones the words of the agreement, the ten rules of the law.

¹³ And he gave you his agreement with you, the ten rules which you were to keep, which he put in writing on the two stones of the law.

¹ And the Lord said to Moses, Make two other stones like the first two; and I will put on them the words which were on the first stones, which were broken by you.

¹⁸ And when his talk with Moses on Mount Sinai was ended, he gave him the two stones of the law, two stones on which was the writing made by the finger of God.

¹⁸ And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.

⁹ When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water.

¹⁶ The stones were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, cut on the stones.

⁷ For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

² And I will put on the stones the words which were on the first stones which were broken by you, and you are to put them into the ark.

³ So I made an ark of hard wood, and had two stones cut like the others, and went up the mountain with the stones in my hands.

⁴ And he put on the stones, as in the first writing, the ten rules which the Lord gave you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the great meeting: and the Lord gave the stones to me.

²⁵ So I went down on my face in prayer before the Lord for forty days and forty nights as I did at first; because the Lord had said that he would put an end to you.

¹⁸ And I went down on my face before the Lord, as at the first, for forty days and forty nights, without taking food or drinking water, because of all your sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and moving him to wrath.
