This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





i.e. The tables of the law, which was the witness of God’s will and Israel’s duty. See Exo_16:34.



Tables of stone; whereby was signified both the durable and perpetual obligation of the moral law, whereas the ceremonial law was to end with the Jewish polity at Christ’s coming; and the stoniness of men’s hearts by nature, in which the law of God could not be written but by a Divine and omnipotent hand.



Written with the finger of God, i.e. with the power or Spirit of God, by comparing Mat_12:18; not by any art of man, but immediately by a Divine hand.



BC 1491
