TWO TABLES OF STONE: Some wonder how the commandments were divided between the two tables of stone. Some believe that there were five commandments on one table and five on the other. Others think they were split between four and six.
When you study the Ten Commandments, you see that the first four commands speak of mankind’s relationship with God and the last six deal with our relationships with one another. Likewise, in the “Lord’s Prayer,” Matthew 6:9–15 and Luke 11:2–4, you find the first three petitions dealing with God and the last four addressing mankind’s needs. The rabbis typically divided the commandments between four and six.
In fact, when Jesus was asked which was the greatest commandment, He commented on this division. “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:37–39).
Then He said, “On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (v. 40). Some suggest that the reason the two tables were written on both sides of the stone was that one set was a copy. This idea comes from the covenant laws of the time in which both parties had a copy of the agreement.
Whatever your view, the important message is that the Ten Commandments are summarized in love for God and our fellowman, and the Lord would like to write His law on your heart. “This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people” (Jeremiah 31:33).
Dear Lord, write your law on my heart today. Put within my mind your commandments that I may reflect your glory in my life.
ML4.) What is the duty of man to his fellow MAN?
Man’s Duty to his fellow man is spelled out in Commandments 5 thru 10 of the 10 commandments:
- Honor your father and mother
- You shall not murder
- You shall not commit adultery
- You shall not steal
- You shall not bear false witness
- You shall not covet
EXODUS 20: 12-17
EXODUS 25:22
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT: After the Exodus, God instructed Moses to build a tabernacle where He would dwell among His people. The tabernacle structure was designed around a sacred centerpiece called the Ark of the Covenant, a rectangular chest set with two statues of angels looking down on top of it, a place called the mercy seat. This ark was placed within the temple’s second compartment, the “holy of holies.”
Later, King David had the ark transferred to Jerusalem, and Solomon, his son, placed it in the midst of a spectacular temple he had built. Originally, the ark only contained the two stone tablets of the Decalogue. Later, Aaron’s rod and a small pot of manna were also placed inside; the book of the law was put in the side of the ark (see Exodus 25:21; Deuteronomy 10:3, 5; and Exodus 16:33, 34).
The last time the ark is mentioned is in 2 Chronicles 35:3, during the reign of King Josiah. Naturally, many have wondered where this special chest now resides. Since the time Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem, the Bible makes no mention of where the ark went. The Scriptures itemize many other vessels that were captured by the Babylonians, but the ark itself is clearly missing. Based on 2 Maccabees 2:4–8, some believe the prophet Jeremiah was instructed by God to move the ark outside Jerusalem before the city was destroyed and to hide it in a cave on Mount Nebo. This seems unlikely because at this same time, the Babylonian king had Jerusalem completely surrounded.
It is more reasonable to assume that Jeremiah, with the help of loyal priests, hid the golden ark in one of the many caves or tunnels that honeycomb the ancient city of Jerusalem. To this day, the ark’s location remains one of archeology’s greatest secrets. But what really matters most is that the law of God is hidden within our hearts. Finding the ark will not matter if we do not have the law within.
Dear Father in heaven, I invite you to write your laws in my heart today. I hunger for your presence and desire to commune with you

REAL CHANGE. Every advice, principle, and command of Jesus provides a person with outstanding blessings!
God has rich blessings to His obedient children. Here are just a few benefits that come from following Jesus’ rules:
- Jesus as a personal friend; *freedom from guilt and fear; *peace of mind;
- indescribable happiness;
- better health and a longer life;
- assurance of a home in heaven!
Jesus compared the people who are obedient to His words to someone building on a strong foundation. He said, “Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:
He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock” (Luke 6:47, 48).
It’s not enough to just hear His words and agree with them; we need to take action and do as He has asked. We need to live His commands.
He promises further that:
* “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5);
* “I have loved you with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3); * “I will strengthen you, yes,
I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).
Jesus tells us,
- “To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7).
- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (Revelation 21:7).
In following Jesus, we are adopted into His family. As children of God, we become heirs of everything—the entire universe!
The true Christian receives benefits from his heavenly Father that even the richest
people on Earth can never purchase.
,Lord Jesus, Precious Savior, thank you for your words of instruction that show me the way of genuine love and the path to everlasting life.
ML11: What are the benefits of obedience to God?
“He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses correction goes astray” (Proverbs 10:17).
Every advice, principle, and command of Jesus provides a person with outstanding blessings!
