And the Lord said unto Moses, write thou these words, for after the tenor of these words, I have made a covenant with thee, and with Jsrael. And was there with the Lord forty days, and forty nights, and did neither eat bread, nor drink water, and he wrote in the Tables the words of the covenant, even the ten commandments. 1. King. 8.9. Nothing was in ⟨image 38⟩the Ark, save the two Tables of Stone, which Moses had put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Children of Israel, when he brought them out of the Land of Egypt.
