Written in stone means NOTHING! When Moses received the Commandments the people were alredy breaking them. This cause Moses to toss the commandments and they were shattered.
Moses then had to carve two new stones which can just as easily be broken.
Note that the Commandments were placed in the Ark which symbolized death as the Ark was really a coffin for the Commandments.
That is an interesting point. Where is your reasoning the Ark was a form of coffin?
Help me out with that.
Sorry for chiming in again, but I couldn’t help it. I have long thought that the ark represented a coffin in some way. Haven’t thought it through completely, but doesn’t it remind you so much of the account of Jesus’ entombment? With the angels (cherubim) at his head and feet? A perfect illustration of the ark? Am I off base?
