24 As soon as Moses had completed writing the words of this Law in a book in their entirety,+ 25 Moses commanded the Levites who carry the ark of Jehovah’s covenant, saying: 26 “Take this book of the Law+ and place it at the side of the ark+ of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it will serve as a witness there against you.

8 Later Hil·kiʹah the high priest said to Shaʹphan the secretary:+ “I have found the book of the Law+ in the house of Jehovah.” So Hil·kiʹah gave the book to Shaʹphan, who began to read it.+
