“And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.”
So I made the ark out of acacia wood and chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands — Moses' obedience is immediate: he crafts the ark and ascends the mountain with the blank tablets. The parallelism with 9:9 suggests renewed covenant-receptivity.
