And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, etc.] The letters were of his devising and forming, the writing was his, the engraving them on the stones was his own doing; and which was done to show its original, to stamp a divine authority on it, and to denote its duration; (see <023118>Exodus 31:18 32:16) and on them was written according to all the words which the Lord spake with you in the mount; the ten commands, exactly in the same order, and in the same words, without any variation, as they were delivered to them with an articulate voice in their hearing; but now were written in this manner, that they might be read by them, and remain with them, (see <023428>Exodus 34:28) out the midst of the fire; in which the Lord was, and whence he spake: in the day of the assembly; when all the people of Israel were gathered together at the foot of the mount; (see <021917>Exodus 19:17 <050410>Deuteronomy 4:10-12).
