And I turned myself, etc.] From the Lord, out of whose hands he had received the tables: and came down from the mount; with the two tables in his hand as before, one in one hand, and the other in the other hand: and put the tables in the ark which I had made; or ordered to be made: and there they be, as the Lord commanded me; there they were when Moses rehearsed what is contained in this book, on the plains of Moab, about thirty eight years after the putting them, into it; and there they continued to be when the ark was brought into Solomon’s temple, (<110809>1 Kings 8:9) and there they were as long as the ark was in being; which may denote the continuance of the law in the hands of Christ under the Gospel dispensation as a rule of walk and conversation to his people.
