“And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.”
So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. Moses obeys completely: chisels the tablets, rises early, carries them up. The tablets in Moses' hands — prepared by him but not yet written — are the image of the covenant mediator bringing the raw material of restored relationship to the God who will fill it with His word. The mediator's work and God's work together constitute the renewed covenant. Human preparation and divine inscription: neither is sufficient alone.
