And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke, and you shall place them in the ark." So I made an ark of acacia wood and hewed two stone tablets like the first ones and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments which the Lord spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me. Then I turned and came down from the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark which I had made, and there they remained, as the Lord commanded me. And the children of Israel journeyed from Beeroth-bene-jaakan to Moserah; there Aaron died and was buried there, and Eleazar his son ministered in his stead.

And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it The Lord is my banner: For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
