SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:3
E hice un arca de madera de cedro, y labré dos tablas de piedra como las primeras, y subí al monte con las dos tablas en mi mano.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:3
Verse 3. Shittim wood] See the note on "Exod. xxv. 5", and succeeding verses, and on the parallel places in the margin.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And I made an ark of shittim wood , etc.] That is, ordered it to be made, and it was made by Bezaleel, and that of shittim wood: so the ark that was put into the holy of holies was made of this wood; see (see Gill on “ Exodus 25:10”), (see Gill on “ Exodus 37:1”), and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first ; two marble ones, as the Targum of Jonathan; that is, he ordered them to be hewed, and took care that they should be exactly made as the former were, of which he had perfect knowledge, having received them of the Lord, and brought them with him down the mount: and went up into the mount, having the two tables in my hand ; in order to have the words of the law, the ten commands, written on them, these being only hewn stones, without anything on them: they were very probably marble, of which great quantities were near at hand.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Moses reminded the Israelites of God's great mercy to them notwithstanding their provocations. There were four things in and by which the Lord showed himself reconciled to Israel. God gave them his law. Thus God has intrusted us with Bibles, sabbaths, and sacraments as tokens of his presence and favour. God led them forward towar Canaan. He appointed a standing ministry among them for holy things And now, under the gospel, when the pouring forth of the Spirit is mor plentiful and powerful, the succession is kept up by the Spirit's wor on men's hearts, qualifying and making some willing for that work in every age. God accepted Moses as an advocate or intercessor for them and therefore appointed him to be their prince and leader. Moses was type of Christ, who ever lives, pleading for us, and has all power in heaven and in earth.
