There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,

5 and to turn and to go down from [the] mountain: mount and to set: put [obj] [the] tablet in/on/with ark which to make and to be there like/as as which to command me LORD
