Where is the 10 commandments found?

Answer 1

No one knows for sure where the two Stone Tablets are, despite sensational claims to the contrary. Even 1800 years ago, the Talmud-sages discussed this question (Yoma 53b). The Talmud (ibid.) states two opinions in this matter. According to one opinion, the Ark of the Covenant was carried off by the Babylonians when they destroyed the First Temple.

According to the second opinion, around 35 years before the First Destruction, King Josiah (Yoshiah) hid the Ark with the two Stone Tablets in a secret chamber constructed for this purpose, since it was already apparent that the Temple wouldn't last much longer. The Prophets had been foretelling the destruction of the Temple for some time.

Tradition states that when he built the Temple, King Solomon prepared a hidden shaft and room deep underneath the Temple Mount for just such an eventuality (Maimonides, in the Hilchot Beit HaBechirah 4:1).

The second opinion is the accepted one (Maimonides, ibid, 4:1-2). However, it is possible to account for both opinions, since all of the Temple vessels had duplicates which were made in order to be used if the original vessel got lost or defiled (Talmud, Hagigah 26b). We may postulate that the Babylonians carried into captivity an empty duplicate Ark which had been placed in the Holy of Holies after King Josiah concealed the original.

Answer 2

Although the giving of the 10 Commandments was undoubtedly a true historical event, it is also unlikely that the originals exist anywhere, or if they do, that they will ever be found. Real laws were based on these 10, even down to many laws we have today. Real laws get based on real principals and frequently are modifications of other laws, as is the case here. The idea of manslaughter, and compensation for failing to take due care where there was a known danger are also principals we have today contained in the Old Testament Torah, which all comes as one package although the 10 Commandments are the best known part of it.

Since clay tablets by the thousands have been found at Ebla of similar antiquity, it would not be surprising if the 10 Commandments were found. However, such is not necessary to demonstrate their reality. Over 5000 individual discoveries have been documented, each of which supports a different aspect of the historicity of The Bible. Dr. Clifford Wilson has documented 5000 of them in a multi-volume work. Even if no evidence is found of the actual tablets themselves, as stated above, the evidence exists, both in the Torah of Israel, and in Laws down to our day of the reality of the 10 Commandments. In any case absence of evidence (in terms of the actual tablets themselves) is not evidence of absence. The Bible has repeatedly been found to be reliable. A number of archaeologists actually state that not one single archaeological discovery has ever refuted a Bible fact.

So, although it may well be true that no remains exist, it is also true that many surprising things have been found under the ground. It is certainly possible for them to exist, but whether they do may never be known.

Answer:

Ethiopia. In the city called Zion. It came from Jerusalem at the time of Emperor Minikil the first child of king Solomon. Queen of Sheba conceived the child when she traveled to Jerusalem to witness Solomon's wisdom. Type "ethiopia secret holy land" on you tube to see the documentary that was made about it.

Answer:

The claim made in the second answer is preposterous and need not be considered seriously. The Ark was located in the Holy Temple for several centuries after King Solomon.
To answer the original question, no one now knows for sure where the Holy Ark is, despite sensational claims to the contrary. Even 1800 years ago, the Talmud-sages discussed this question (Yoma 53b).
The Talmud (ibid.) states two opinions in this matter. According to one opinion, the Ark of the Covenant was carried off by the Babylonians when they destroyed the First Temple.
According to the second opinion, around 35 years before the First Destruction, King Josiah (Yoshiah) hid the Ark in a secret chamber constructed for this purpose, since it was already apparent that the Temple wouldn't last much longer. The Prophets had been foretelling the destruction of the Temple for some time.

However, it is possible to account for both opinions, since all of the Temple vessels had duplicates which were made in order to be used if the original vessel got lost or defiled (Talmud, Hagigah 26b). In addition, there was a second ark which had been used before the Tabernacle was built (see Rashi commentary on Deuteronomy 10:1, based on midrash Tanchuma). We may therefore postulate that the Babylonians carried into captivity an empty duplicate Ark which had been placed in the Holy of Holies after King Josiah concealed the original.

Answer 4

In Exodus chapters 25-27, the Lord instructed Moses to build an elaborate ark of shittim wood and gold. The ark was believed to have two purposes: first, it supported a 'mercy seat' of pure gold for God to ride on as the people travelled; second it held the tablets on which were carved the ten commandments.
1 Samuel 6:14 says the Ark of the Covenant was later placed upon a stone in a field belonging to Joshua the Bet-Shemite. Thousands of Bet-Shemites died because they looked into the Ark, but it is not clear whether they looked at the ten commandments or at God sitting on the mercy seat.According to Psalm 132, this most sacred artefact of the Hebrews was found during the reign of King David, abandoned in a field. Having spent so many centuries abandoned, you would have to imagine that the tablets, if they really ever existed, had probably long before been taken away. What we can say is that the ten commandments are there in the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, for everyone to see. We do not need to go looking for a stone artefact to learn rules for righteous living.
