Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 9:10
And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
10. tables of stone written with the finger of God ] Taken exactly from. Exo 31:18 b, E: the divine name is not changed to the usual the Lord thy God. With His own voice, face to face, God spake the words of the covenant (Deu 4:12 f., Deu 5:4) and now with His own finger wrote them. Thus by a double metaphor is the directly divine origin and supreme sanctity of the Ten Words emphasised.

day of the assembly ] Deu 10:4, Deu 18:16. See note on Deu 5:22.
The verse seems superfluous after 9 and before 11, and is regarded as a later intrusion (Steuern., Berth.). Note that
11 follows naturally on Deu 9:9.

And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God,…. 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 Ex 31:18
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
Ex 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 Ex 19:17.
