Question

Where are the stone tablets placed when the Ten Commandments are renewed?

a) They are placed in a new ark
b) They are placed in the Tabernacle
c) They are given to Moses to keep
d) There is no mention of where they are placed

Answer 1

The renewed stone tablets with the Ten Commandments are placed in the Ark of the Covenant, as described in the Hebrew Bible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks where the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments are placed when they are renewed. According to the Hebrew Bible, after the original tablets are broken by Moses when he sees the Israelites worshipping an idol, Moses receives a second set of tablets. These new tablets are placed into the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark is a gold-covered wooden chest described in the Book of Exodus as containing the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. Thus, the correct answer to the question would be that they are placed in a new ark, particularly the Ark of the Covenant, which, according to tradition, was kept in the Tabernacle when the Israelites were travelling and later in the First Temple in Jerusalem.
