John Gill Commentary Deuteronomy 10:5

"And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Jehovah commanded me." — Deuteronomy 10:5 (ASV)

And I turned myself
From the Lord, out of whose hands he had received the tables:

and came down from the mount ;
with the two tables in his hand as before, one in one hand, and the other in the other hand:

and put the tables in the ark which I had made ;
or ordered to be made:

and there they be, as the Lord commanded me ;
there they were when Moses rehearsed what is contained in this book, on the plains of Moab, about thirty eight years after the putting them, into it; and there they continued to be when the ark was brought into Solomon's temple, (1 Kings 8:9) and there they were as long as the ark was in being; which may denote the continuance of the law in the hands of Christ under the Gospel dispensation as a rule of walk and conversation to his people.
