"Written with the Finger of God."

By Arthur L. Manous

1. What command did God give Moses at one time?
"The Lord said unto Moses, Come up to Me into the mount, and be there." Ex. 24: 12.
2. What should he there receive?
"I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments WHICH I HAVE WRITTEN; that thou mayest teach them." Ex. 24: 12.
3. How were these commandments written?
"He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, WRITTEN WITH THE FINGER OF GOD." Ex. 31: 18.
"The tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. And the tables were the work of God, and THE WRITING WAS THE WRITING OF GOD, graven upon the tables." Ex. 32: 15, 16.
4. When Moses broke the tables of stone, what command did God give him?
"The Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I WILL WRITE upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest." "And He [God] wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments." Ex. 34: 1, 28. See also Deut. 4: 13; 5: 22; 9: 10; 10: 4; Rom. 3: 4. ARTHUR L. MANOUS.
