18When the LORD had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
Where did the phrase come from, “it’s not written in stone”?
“It's a cultural reference; it's based on the Ten Commandments Moses brought down from Mount Sinai, which were literally written in (carved, etched, or burned into) tablets of stone. Thus, the phrase implies that nothing else is as absolute and unchangeable as the Ten Commandments.”
The tablets of stone were inscribed with the Ten Commandments written by the finger of a God!
What did Moses do with these tablets?
Stay tuned!
Blessings, David
