The First and Second Set of the TEN WORDS

 

Deu 10:1  “At that time יהוה said to me, ‘Hew for yourself two/shanayim H8147  tablets/luach H3871 of stone/aban H68 like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain. And you shall make yourself an ark of wood, 

Deu 10:2  then I write on the tablets the Words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. And you shall put them in the ark.’ 

Deu 10:3  “So I made an ark of acacia wood, hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, with the two tablets in my hand. 

Deu 10:4  “And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten (asharah H6235)  Words (Dabar H1697), which יהוה had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. Then יהוה gave them to me, 

Deu 10:5  and I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark (arun H727)which I had made. And they are there, as יהוה commanded me.”  

When we read Deut 10:1-5, Yahuah tells Masha to hew two tablets of stone like the first, now to understand the second witness of Yahuah’s finger impression on the wet clay with the ten words and place it in the ark what is interesting to see are the Abary words arun  shanayim, luach & aban: 

Arun H727: From H717 (in the sense of gathering); a box: - ark, chest, coffin. This word is rooted in the high priest Aharun’s name (H175) 

Shanayim H8147: The first form being dual of H8145 (shanay-double/repeat it second time); the second form being feminine); two; also (as ordinal) twofold: - both, couple, double, second, twain, + twelfth, + twelve, + twenty (sixscore) thousand, twice, two. 

Luach H3871 : A common writing material is wet clay. The letters can be easily inscribed and the clay hardens to preserve the record. It comes from the root word ‘lach’ which means moist just like the tongue sticks out which is moist. The pictograph ‘L: lamed’ represents authority and the tongue as the authority, the ‘chat’ is a picture of wall that separates the inside from the outside. Combined these mean "tongue outside". When the lips are dry, the tongue licks the lips to moisten them. 

Aban H68: From the root of H1129 through the meaning, to build; a stone: - + carbuncle, + mason, + plummet, [chalk-, hail-, bead-, sling-] stone (-ny), (divers) weight (-s). Aban has the root word ‘Ahba: Father & ban : Son’ 

Yahuah is giving us an spiritual picture here which we will look at closely: 

Firstly the first/rishon two/shanayim wet clay/luach written by the finger/etsbah of Yahuah was intended to be brought down to Yasharal to be kept visible to them & the living words to be in their midst. But Yasharal didn’t keep their first estate and while Masha tarried on Mount Sinai the people came to Aharun to make them a Elohim (H430: alahym). Scripture doesn’t record Aharun resisting the people of Yasharal from sinning against Yahuah though being a chosen high priest and made them a molded calf and proclaimed to the people of Yasharal and went on to build a slaughter place & declared a feast to Yahuah represented as molded calf (Exo 32:5) 

The first set of tablets: 

The first set of tablets came written with the etsbah/finger of Yahuah in diverse colors H6648 (etsba which is rooted in etsbah which is called FINGER) 

Exo 32:15  And Mosheh turned and went down from the mountain, and in his hand were the two tablets of the Witness, tablets written on both/shanayim H8147 their sides/abar H5676, written on the one/zeh H2088 and on the other/zeh H2088 

Exo 32:16  And the tablets were the work/ maseh of Elohim, and the writing/miktab was the writing/miktab of Elohim engraved on the tablets. 

We saw the word shanayim which means 'two'/'double' and the Abary word abar H5676 comes from H5674 which means 'to cross over' and the words written were on one side and the other

The word 'zeh' H2088 means this or that, here or there, this side or that side

Hence, we see Yahuah's living Torah written in diverse colors in a two fold witness, words that speak of how Yasharal could cross over from here to there or this side to that side

Exo 31:18  And when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Mosheh two/shanayim H8147 tablets/luach H3871 of the Witness/eduth H5715 (from H5707, tablets of stone, written with the finger/etsba H676 of Elohim.  

Etsbah H676: From the same as etseba H6648 (a dye of divers colours); something to seize with, that is, a finger; by analogy a toe: - finger, toe. 

The witness/eduth was Yahuah's seal/impression into the wet clay. It is interesting to see is twofold/shanayim moist/luach witness/eduth written which had the witness of diverse colours/etsba on stone/aban (Ahb : Father and Ban: Son) -two fold witness which will enable Yasharal to cross over from this side to that side.

Exo 32:1  And when the people saw that Mosheh was so long in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aharon, and said to him, “Arise, make us mighty ones (H430 alahym) who go before us. For this Mosheh, the man who brought us up out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what has become of him.” 

Exo 32:2  And Aharon said to them, “Take off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 

Exo 32:3  “And all the people took off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aharon. 

Exo 32:4  And he took this from their hand, and he formed it with an engraving tool, and made a moulded calf. And they said, “This is your mighty one, O Yisra’ěl, that brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!” 

Exo 32:5  And Aharon saw and built a slaughter-place before it. And Aharon called out and said, “Tomorrow is a festival to יהוה.” 

Exo 32:6  And they rose early on the next day, and offered ascending offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 

Exo 32:7  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Mitsrayim have corrupted themselves.  

When the people saw that Masha was long gone, they chose to make a god of Yahuah which we will see a little later - 'the moulded calf'

First we will see the encounter of the people of Yasharal with Yahuah, when Yahuah came down on Mount Sinai.


Exo 20:18  And all the people saw the qolot/voices H6963, the lightning flashes, the voice/qol  H6963 of the shophar/shophar H7782, and the mountain smoking. And the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance, 

Exo 20:19  and said to Mosheh, “You speak with us and we hear, but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.”  

Qol H6963: Singular voice

Qolot: Multiple voices 

Shophar H7782: From H8231 (goodly) in the original sense of incising; a cornet (as giving a clear sound) or curved horn: - cornet, trumpet. 

In the Deut 5 account, Masha tells the people how they were afraid and asked Masha to go alone and speak the words of Yahuah with them, they refused to hear the Voice of Yahuah for they feared they would die 

Deu 5:4  The YAHUAH talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, 

Deu 5:5  (I stood between the YAHUAH and you at that time, to shew you the word of the YAHUAH: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) 

Masha further records that it was actually the heads and elders of their tribes (Deut 5:23) who came pleading on behalf of the people that Masha would hear from Yahuah and speak to them. Since, they were the elders of the tribes, its evident that they would in turn teach the words to the people of their respective tribes. Masha further confirms that the Elders did hear the singular VOICE (QOL) Deut 5:24 and the multiple voices( QOLOT) were heard by the people (Exo 20:18) 

The detail given by the people in Exodus 20 that He spoke with “voices/qolot,” shows us more than one voice i.e. a literal command seconded/shanayim by the ruach hidden in the command.  His “magnificent voice” was, in fact, the miraculous utterance of multiple voices being emitted from a HIM at once! When He spoke the Ten Commandments, although He alone was speaking, He was supernaturally uttering more than one word at the same time! This is nothing less than the gift of tongues, a miraculous form of speech, spoken by the Creator of all tongues, Himself! As He poured His Torah into them, His Ruach used a speaking method that could not be explained, but demonstrated His own power to every single person there!  

Deu 5:23  “And it came to be, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders

Deu 5:24  and said, ‘See, יהוה our Elohim has shown us His esteem and His greatness, and we have heard His voice/QOL H6963 from the midst of the fire. Today we have seen that Elohim speaks with man – and he lives! 

Deu 5:25  And now why should we die? For this great fire is consuming us. If we hear the voice of יהוה our Elohim any more, then we shall die. 

Deu 5:26  For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living Elohim speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and does live? 

 To recap, the Elders of the people heard the singular voice/qol of Yahuah whereas the people heard the multiple voices/qolot from the midst of the fire. This was no different than the ‘gift of tongues from the midst of the fire’ (Deut 5:24) where the Creator Himself spoke through a DIVINE UTTERANCE multiple words whereas at the same time He spoke in a singular voice. That is why we see in Acts 2 there were tongues of fire which came on those believing in Mashiyach which enabled them to speak in ‘qolot/voices’ to the people the wonderful works of Yahuah. For the speaker was ONE 

Act 2:3  And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them.  

The giving of Torah happened during the feast of Shabouth. The third new moon is in reference of counting of 50 days from firstfruits 

This was a significant event as the Ten Commandments were given to Masha in the third month which marks as a memorial of the feast of Shavout, a counting of 50 days from the time the first sheaf is brought in. The number fifty is 5 x 10 where the number 5 represents the 5 books of Torah X its completeness, the very 5 words the emissary said that he would rather speak in the assembly than ten thousand words in a language. 

1Co 14:19  but in an assembly I wish to speak five words with my understanding that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 

Exo 19:1  In the third new moon after the children of Yisra’ěl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, on this day they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.  

The Elders of the tribes though heard the Singular voice of Yahuah couldn’t comprehend what was told while the people only heard the voices and they couldn’t comprehend what was being said either. But the voices were seconded by a singular voice with a Divine Utterance which would transform them who heard and understood the command.

The molded calf: 

We already touched base on Aharun not resisting the people but carved a moulded calf and built an altar to it and proclaimed a feast of Yahuah 

The letter ‘Alaph’ is a pictograph of an OX head and Yahuah is the Alaph and the Tau. Hence, the scripture records that they sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play (sport) as Alaph stands for a symbol of OX who is strong and they made a idol of Yahuah 

This same word for play/sport tsachaq H6711 is used when Yishmael mocked Yitshaq 

Gen 21:8  And the child grew and was weaned, and Aḇraham made a great feast on the day that Yitsḥaq was weaned. 

Gen 21:9  And Sarah saw the son of Haḡar the Mitsrian, whom she had borne to Aḇraham, mocking/tsachaq H6711

Gen 21:10  So she said to Aḇraham, “Drive out this female servant and her son, for the son of this female servant shall not inherit with my son, with Yitsḥaq.” 

Gen 21:11  And the matter was very evil in the eyes of Aḇraham because of his son. 

Gen 21:12  But Elohim said to Aḇraham, “Let it not be evil in your eyes because of the boy and because of your female servant. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice, for in Yitsḥaq your seed is called.  

1Co 10:7  And do not become idolaters as some of them, as it has been written, “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play/tsachaq H6711

1Co 10:8  Neither should we commit whoring, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell, 

1Co 10:9  neither let us try Messiah, as some of them also tried, and were destroyed by serpents,  

Shaul reckons the present Yerushalam to Hagar, the bondwoman who was cast out with her son 

Gal 4:21  Say to me, you who wish to be under Torah, do you not hear the Torah? 

Gal 4:22  For it has been written that Aḇraham had two sons, one by a female servant, the other by a free woman. 

Gal 4:23  But he who was of the female servant was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise. 

Gal 4:24  This is allegorical, for these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar, 

Gal 4:25  for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children. 

Gal 4:26  But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all. 


Exo 32:15  And Mosheh turned and went down from the mountain, and in his hand were the two tablets of the Witness, tablets written on both their sides, written on the one and on the other. 

Exo 32:16  And the tablets were the work/maseh of Elohim, and the writing/miktab was the writing/miktab of Elohim engraved on the tablets. 


We saw the meaning of the first set of tablets being written on both sides, written on the one and on the other which Masha broke at the foot of the mountain. We saw the witness/eduth was Yahuah's seal/impression into the wet clay, a twofold/shanayim moist/luach witness/eduth written which had the witness of diverse colours/etsba on stone/aban (Ahb : Father and Ban: Son) -two fold witness which will enable Yasharal to cross over from this side to that side.

On the day of Shabout those who spoke the divine tongues spoke of these great works of Yahuah


Act 2:8  “And how do we hear, each one in our own language in which we were born? 

Act 2:9  “Parthians and Medes and Ěylamites, and those dwelling in Aram Naharayim, both Yehuḏah and Kappadokia, Pontos and Asia, 

Act 2:10  both Phrygia and Pamphulia, Mitsrayim and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Yehuḏim and converts, 

Act 2:11  "Cretans and Araḇs, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great deeds of Elohim.” 


The second set of tablets:

 Deu 10:1  “At that time יהוה said to me, ‘Hew for yourself two/shanayim H8147  tablets/luach H3871 of stone/aban H68 like the first/rishon H7223, and come up to Me on the mountain. And you shall make yourself an ark of wood, 

Deu 10:2  then I write on the tablets the Words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. And you shall put them in the ark.’ 

Deu 10:3  “So I made an ark of acacia wood, hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, with the two tablets in my hand. 

Deu 10:4  “And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten (asharah H6235)  Words (Dabar H1697), which יהוה had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. Then יהוה gave them to me, 

Deu 10:5  and I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark (arun H727)which I had made. And they are there, as יהוה commanded me.”  

 The second tablets were to be made same like the first and the second set of tablets would give the same impression as of the first as Deut 10:4 says “And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten (asharah H6235)  Words (Dabar H1697), which יהוה had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. Then יהוה gave them to me

But this time, the two tablets were to be concealed in a chest box/ark (arun)

There are some deep hidden meanings in understanding this spiritually. We saw that the word 'arun H727' is rooted in the name 'Aharon H175'. These ten words would now be concealed with the intervention of an earthly high priesthood and his sons as kohenim (priests) who would stand as mediators between Yahuah and his people.

The other interesting aspect seen here is that the TEN WORDS would now be divided in parables

Mat 13:10  And the taught ones came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 

Mat 13:11  And He answering, said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, but to them it has not been given. 

That is why Mashiyach spoke in parables and spoke many parables with number five & ten in it :

1. Parable of 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins (Matt 25)

2. 100 sheep (Matt 18:12,multiple of 10 & 5)

3. Parable of king taking account of his servants (Mt 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents)

4. Parable of ten talents (Matt 25:28, Luke 19:13)

5. Parable of ten pieces of silver ( Luke 15:8)

6. Parable of ten lepers ( Luke 17:12)

7. Feeding of five thousand (Matt 14:21, Mark 8:19) with five loaves and 2 fish

8. Five sparrows sold for two copper coins (Luke 12:6)

9. House hold division ( Lu 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.)

10. Parable of rich man and Lazarus. The rich man had 5 brethren whom he said to testify to so that they don't come to this place of torment (Luke 16:28)

The second witness was now concealed in the division underneath the alaphabet 

Gen 1:3  And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be. 

Gen 1:4  And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated badal H914 bayan H996 the light from the darkness. 

Gen 1:5  And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the first day. 

Gen 1:6  And Elohim said, “Let an expanse come to be in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 

Gen 1:7  And Elohim made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it came to be so. 

Gen 1:8  And Elohim called the expanse ‘heavens.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the second day.

badal H914: A primitive root; to divide (in various senses literally or figuratively, separate, distinguish, differ, select, etc.): - (make, put) difference, divide (asunder), (make) separate (self, -ation), sever (out), X utterly.

bayan H996: (Sometimes in the plural masculine or feminine); properly the constructively contracted form of an otherwise unused noun from H995; a distinction; but used only as a preposition, between (repeated before each noun, often with other particles); also as a conjugation, either... or: - among, asunder, at, between (-twixt . . . and), + from (the widest), X in, out of, whether (it be... or), within.

The distinguishing would out of or within, just as Yahuah separated (badal bayan) light from darkness, day from night, waters beneath from water above the firmament. The scriptures also teach us that Yahuah hid Himself in thick darkness

Exo 20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Mosheh drew near unto the thick darkness where ELOHIYM was.

2Sa 22:12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

2Ch 6:1 THEN said Shalomah, YAHUAH has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Psa 18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

Yahuah concealed Himself in thick darkness, spoke with an excellent voice from the midst of the fire and thick darkness and added no more. The word yasaph H3254 is rooted in the name Yahusaph which means 'He will add'

Deu 5:22  “These Words יהוה spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with an excellent/gadul H1419 (from gadal H1431) voice/qol H6963, and He added/yasaph H3254 no more/lo . And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

Those who would hear the excellent voice of Yahuah would be added into His fold and the word spoken will add no more than those chosen. Deut 5 is in relation to the first set of tablets Yahuah gave Masha. We saw the excellent voice was heard by the elders of the people of Yasharal and the qolot/multiple voices heard by the people and none of them comprehended the voice/s

Heb 12:18 For ye are not come unto the Mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

Heb 12:19 And the sound of a shofar, and the voice of words(qolot); which voice (qol) they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them anymore:

Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure את eth that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

Heb 12:21 And so terrible was the sight, that Mosheh said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) (Shemoth 19:18)

Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto Mount Tsiyon, and unto the city of the living YAH, the heavenly El-Yerushalayim, and to an innumerable company of angels,

Heb 12:23 To the general and called out assembly of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to YAHUAH the Judge of all, and to the ruachoth (spirits) of just men made perfect,

Heb 12:24 And to YAHUSHA the mediator of the Renewed Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of H’avel.

Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven:

Heb 12:26 Whose voice/qol then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

The writer of Hebrews shows us that the speaker is ONE, he uses the terminology 'They did not escape who refused the One who spoke on earth and they wont escape if they turn away from the One who spoke from heaven whos e VOICE/QOL (singular) then shook the earth and now will also shake the heaven.

Because Yasharal refused & sinned, the First set of the Ten words which was intended to be taught to their elders and the people, they refused and asked Masha to mediate and not hear the voice of Yahuah lest they die. Hence, they received actually a third set witness of the Torah commandments of sin and death in carnal ordinances as the secondary witness was concealed  in the ark (arun) which only Mashiyach would reveal through his Malchitsedeq priesthood.

The TEN WORDS are living oracles of Yahuah who came face to face with creation to reveal HIMSELF in the person of Yahusha who impresses the Ten words now in the moist clay i.e. us where the Torah came written in our minds and our hearts by the Ruach.
