I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke." *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: God promises to personally restore the Decalogue (Ten Commandments) on a second set of stone tablets following the destruction of the first pair. *Historical context*: The replacement of the tablets signified the formal renewal of the covenant between God and Israel after it had been severed by the Golden Calf apostasy. *Related to*: ### He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The promise to restore the written Law is realized as the Ten Commandments are inscribed on the new tablets during Moses' second 40-day stay on Sinai. *Historical context*: These stone tablets were historically housed within the Ark of the Covenant, which became the focal point of the Tabernacle and later the First Temple in Jerusalem. *Related to*: Yahweh said to Moses, "Chisel two stone tablets like the first. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke." ### Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: God predicts the specific ethnic and national groups that would be displaced to allow Israel to occupy the Promised Land. *Historical context*: The Book of Joshua records the systematic defeat of these groups. Specifically, [[Josh|Joshua 12]] lists the 31 kings of these nations who were conquered, marking the historical fulfillment of this territorial displacement. *Related to*: ### Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of Yahweh; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: God promises to perform unprecedented supernatural acts that will be visible to the entire nation to demonstrate His unique relationship with Israel. *Historical context*: This is realized through various 'marvels' in Israel's history, including the parting of the Jordan River ([[Josh|Joshua 3]]) and the falling walls of Jericho. An immediate fulfillment is also seen in the physical transfiguration of Moses. *Related to*: ### when he came down from the mountain, Moses didn't know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him. When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Moses' face supernaturally radiates divine light, serving as a visible 'marvel' and 'work of Yahweh' as promised in verse 10. *Historical context*: This phenomenon, known as the 'radiance of Moses,' confirmed his unique role as the covenant mediator. Literary and theological traditions (including [[2 Cor|2 Corinthians 3]]) cite this as evidence of the 'glory' inherent in the Mosaic covenant. *Related to*: Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels... and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of Yahweh ### neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh, your God, three times in the year. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: God promises supernatural national security, ensuring that no enemy will even attempt to invade Israel's borders while the men are away at the three mandatory pilgrimage festivals. *Historical context*: Biblical historians and commentators like Adam Clarke note that throughout the era of the First Temple, despite the land being humanly defenseless three times a year, there are no records of foreign invasions during these specific holy seasons. *Related to*: ### For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: God predicts that Israel's territory will expand significantly beyond the initial borders of the tribal allotments. *Historical context*: This prophecy saw its historical peak during the United Monarchy.
