Deuteronomy 8-10 | Who Made the Ark?

Deuteronomy 8-10 contains important speeches given by Moses to the Israelites. In chapter 8, Moses reminds the people to remember the Lord and his commandments as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. He emphasizes that God provided for them during their wilderness journey and warns them not to forget him once they experience prosperity.

In chapter 9, Moses stresses that the Israelites have not been chosen because of their righteousness but because of God's grace. He also recounts how he interceded for the people after they worshiped the golden calf and underscores the importance of obedience to God's commands.

Finally, in chapter 10, Moses instructs the Israelites to make new tablets of stone to replace the ones he broke in anger. He reminds them of the importance of loving and obeying God and of caring for the vulnerable, including the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow. These speeches serve to reinforce the Israelites' covenant with God and to remind them of their responsibilities as his chosen people.

The inconsistencies between Exodus 37 and Deuteronomy 10 regarding who built the ark can be attributed to several factors.

Firstly, it's worth noting that the Bible was written by multiple authors over a long period of time, and there may have been different traditions and sources that were used in the composition of these texts.

Additionally, it's possible that there were errors or omissions in the transmission or translation of the texts over time. For example, some scholars suggest that the text in Deuteronomy may have originally read "the Lord made for himself" rather than "I made," and that this was a later copyist error.

Another possibility is that different authors had different perspectives on who should be credited with the construction of the ark. In Exodus, the emphasis is on the work of Bezalel and Oholiab, who were specifically chosen and gifted by God for the task. In Deuteronomy, Moses is giving a more general overview of the Israelites' journey and may be using a more inclusive perspective that highlights the contribution of the community as a whole.

Ultimately, while there may be some inconsistencies in the text, these do not necessarily undermine the central message of the Bible or the importance of the ark as a symbol of God's presence among his people.
