Context
The Opportunity to Begin Again
10:1 At that same time the Lord said to me, “Carve out for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones and come up the mountain to me; also make for yourself a wooden ark .
10:2 I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the first tablets you broke , and you must put them into the ark .”
10:3 So I made an ark of acacia wood and carved out two stone tablets just like the first ones. Then I went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands .
10:4 The Lord then wrote on the tablets the same words , the ten commandments , which he had spoken to you at the mountain from the middle of the fire at the time of that assembly , and he gave them to me.
10:5 Then I turned , went down the mountain , and placed the tablets into the ark I had made – they are still there , just as the Lord commanded me.
Conclusion of the Historical Resume
10:6 “During those days the Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-Yaaqan to Moserah . There Aaron died and was buried , and his son Eleazar became priest in his place .
10:7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah , and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah , a place of flowing streams .

NET Notes: Deu 10:6 Moserah. Since Aaron in other texts (Num 20:28; 33:38) is said to have died on Mount Hor, this must be the Arabah region in which Hor was located.
