that which was delivered (to keep), store
Dictionary of Biblical Words:
The divine role of life for man in the flesh, or fallen man, as is seen in the frequent, “Thou shalt not.” Outwardly, in the letter, they were kept by many blamelessly (Phil. 3:6; Luke 1:6, &c.) In the spirit none could keep them (Rom. 7:7, &c. 8:7; 4:15. Gal. 3:10, 11, &c.); “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart,” and Thou shalt not covet,’ being alone sufficient to convict every one. The law, therefore, because of the weakness of the flesh, failed in leading man to God; it only condemned him to death for breaking it (Gen. 3:10). The Christian has paid this righteous penalty in the death of Christ, and now is free, in the power of a new nature, born of God, to fulfill the law (Rom. 7:6; 8:4), not in the oldness of the letter, but in the newness of spirit, no longer as a means of life, but because we have life (see LAW). These Ten Commandments were written on two tables, the first four or five (man’s duty to God) on the one, and the remainder (man’s duty to his neighbor) on: the other. The tables are thus summarized by the Lord (Mark 12:29-31). The first tables were brokers in spirit by the people, and literally by Moses, as soon as given, the second set were hidden in the ark.
