Deuteronomy 9:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ When I went up the mountain to receive the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant that the Lord made with you, I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water. ¹⁰ And the Lord gave me the two stone tablets written with the finger of God; on them were all the words that the Lord had spoken to you at the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly. ¹¹ At the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
