Read Deuteronomy 10 in context

Scripture Focus

2And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

3And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.

4And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.

Deuteronomy 10:2-4

Biblical Context

God instructs Moses to inscribe the commandments anew on fresh tablets, preserving the law for the people as a renewed covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse the act of God writing anew on the tablets is the symbol for the inner act of consciousness. The 'tablets' are your states of mind, and the 'I AM' writes the law into your inner life when you stand in quiet faith, as if the old commandments were broken by a past self and a fresh inscription now appears. The ark you carry is your present awareness—the field where God’s word is housed. The two tablets echo the two aspects of your life: thought you are and who you are becoming, and the writing is done 'according to the first writing' to remind you that the new state must be formed from an unshakable truth: you are the I AM, awareness itself, and your new commandment is loyalty to that Presence. When you consent to this inner rewriting, your outward life aligns with the freshly inscribed law.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, place your attention on I AM, and write the new commandments on your inner tablets. Feel the truth as a present, real state imprinted upon you.
