Best Answer

The answer to this can be found in Exodus 32. After receiving from God the tablets into which were carved the Ten Commandments, Moses came down from Mount Sinai. He found the Israelites worshipping an idol, since the people had given up on Moses ever returning. Moses threw the tablets to the ground and crushed them. He then mixed the crushed tablets with water and made the Israelites drink down the resulting mixture.

Did God write the second set of the Ten Commandments Exodus 34 v1 or Moses Exodus 34 v27?

God inscribed the Law on the first pair of tablets. When Moses came back down from the mountain, though, he discovered that the people had already broken the law and were sinning greatly. In anger Moses smashed the tablets. After this God commanded Moses to return to the mountain, create two more tablets of stone, and inscribe the Law on these replacements. Presumably Moses had memorized what was on the first tablets, or God told Moses what to write.

What two things did Moses get on Mt. Sinai where he saw god?

Moses brought down stone tablets on which were written the words of a message concerning what the Creator expected of the nation, and he did this on two separate occasions. On the first occasion, before Moses had reached the bottom of the mountain, he was informed that the people were involved in the sin of the Golden Calf, whereupon he smashed the tablets that he carried. Later, he returned to the summit, and received another set of tablets. Both sets ... the shattered tablets and the intact ones ... were preserved in the Ark, within the Holy of Holies, in the interior of the traveling tabernacle.


Why does Moses make another copy of the 10 commandments?

Did God write the Ten Commandments twice?

According to the Bible, yes. Moses was given them the first time in Exodus 31:18 and when he came down from the mountain the Israelites were breaking all the commandments so he threw the stone tablets down and broke them -- Exodus 32:19. Moses later went up on the mountain and received the re-written commandments in Exodus 34. Exodus 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. Exodus 34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. === ===
