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 carved two stone tablets just like the first ones. He got up early in the morning and climbed up Mount Sinai, just as the LORD had told him to do, carrying the two stone tablets in his hands.
Moses obediently prepared new stone tablets and climbed Mount Sinai early in the morning, following God's exact instructions after the first tablets were broken.
