31:9-13 So that future generations in Israel could be reminded of their covenant obligations, the covenant text was to be read publicly. Doing so was a practical necessity in an era when personal copies of documents were not generally available. 31:9 Ark of the Lord’s Covenant: This gold-plated wooden chest contained the two stone tablets bearing the text of the Ten Commandments. It was also the Lord’s throne, as he sat there invisibly among his people (see study note on 10:1).
