  1. Moshe recounts the giving of the 2nd Luchos:
  • “At that time Hashem told me to carve two new sets of stone just like the first ones, and ascend the mountain. I made an Aron of acacia-shittim wood and carved the stones and ascended the mountain. Hashem wrote on the Luchos the same words that were written on the first tablets and He gave them to me. I descended from the mountain and placed the Luchos in the Aron.”

 

  1. Moshe recounts the travels:
  • “We traveled to Moseirah and Aaron passed away and was buried there. Elazar, his son, became the priest in his place. From there we traveled to Gudgod, and from there to Yatvasah, a land of channels of water.
  • At that time, Hashem set apart the Levites to carry the Aron and serve before Him, and bless in His name until this day. For this reason, the Levites do not have a portion with their brothers, as Hashem is their portion.
  • I stood by the mountain for forty days and Hashem listened to me not to destroy you. Hashem told me to arise and go travel towards the promised land.”
