Did Moses Use Heiroglyphs Or A Proto-Sinaitic Heiroglyphic System When Etching the Second Set Of The 10 Commandments In Stone?

Why did God go to the trouble of writing the first set if he knew darn well that Moses was just going to break them?

The Ten Commandments were given three times. The first time, the Ten Commandments were first spoken by God in Exodus 20.

The second time, they were given to Moses on two tablets of stone, in Exodus 31. These were the tablets that Moses broke after seeing Israel build and worship a golden calf.

The third time, in Exodus 43, God gives Moses a second physical set on stone. "The LORD said to Moses, "Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke."

Why would God present the Ten Commandments three times? In the first presentation, God gives Israel his law by the spoken word. They of course accept it as their law, not knowing they cannot keep it.

The second time, the law is written on two solid stones. When the stones reach the people of Israel, they are caught worshiping a golden idol, and playing in sexual immorality. These stones are broken by Moses. This represents Jesus Christ dying for our sins.

The third set of Ten Commandments were again written on stone. This time, they are placed inside the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark was a wooden box, overlaid with gold, and placed in the temple. This represents Christ, now in heaven, in the temple.

Thank you for that informative response.

How could a rabbi know?

They can only go back to proto Sinaitic and forward from Egyptian Heiroglyphics to ascertain what languages Moses knew.

God either etched the second set in a language Moses didn’t know or in a language Moses knew so he could then carry that language over to the written Torah.

No rabbinical status or learning is needed to figure this out, nor to figure out that Masoretic Text, Aramaic Hebrew or Paleo Hebrre were around in Moses’time, but I guess some rabbi could engage in conjecture.

I never said it wasn’t plausible they were heiroglyphics.

So all pictures are photos given you leapt from one to the other, fallaciously linking the two and thereby showing your limited mental capacity if so?

LOL.

I hope you aren’t one of those that believes Masoretic Text, Aramaic Hebrew, or Paleo would be on the two tablets.

You crack me up...

And I’m glad I was corrected for it actually helped me as God would have either etched a language Moses knew or etched one he didn’t, but it would be hard to maintain a continuity from the two tablets to the written Torah God gave Moses if in a language Moses didn’t know.

Point is, the Proto Simaitic and Paleo Hebrew were languages used at the time of Moses and after, so it was a language they evolved from that God used to etch the tablets or something not at all like them Gid used on the two tablets, and Masoretic Text and Aramaic Hebrew were not used at all in Moses’ time.

So there was no text on the two tablets?

Btw, prove what was or wasn’t “filler” or concede you are diverting the thread.

I’m more interested in what language the first set was written!

The one that gets pieced back together -- the Mosaic Law!

No two pieces alike, but it's one heart.

Exodus 36

1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:

Cuneiform. Like the Latin alphabet it was suited to writing in any number of languages. Which was why it was in use for so long and over such a wide spread area.

Dense you are. Or reading comprehension-challenges.

[logi_cal869]

Nope. I don’t get paid to teach.

What a timely post. Divine Providence indeed.

Not sure Judeo Christianity could buy it, but today actually marks that day.
When Moses travels back up the mount with the two new tables.

And Moses is there for another 40.
And when Moses comes down after that 40, his face shines.

On the calendar in the bible, Moses just came down the mount two days ago,on the 29th day of the 4th month.
That day is commemorated in Exodus 32 and in he New Testament, Acts 2.

And I know that Judeo Christianity can’t buy that because it would mess the timing of Pentecost,but the math of ‘Pentecost’ ignores a day that Satan also seeks to ignore in timekeeping.
So, the Feast of Weeks is held about 50 days earlier than what the bible math records thanks to Satan’s math.

But that’s the blessing of following the bible and His timekeeping.
Today is the first day of the 5th month as in the days of Moses.
Called a New Moon Day.
A day He sets apart each month to commemorate Genesis 1:1 and if one is a New Covenant believer, John 1:1. And with more study,John 1:14 each month.

It’s no accident Satan doesn’t want people keeping that day separate from the 6 work days like the Bible says.
Satan’s math doesn’t get people to 60 or 100.
They seem to have to stop at 50.

That reference to Moses’ face shining earlier brings to mind a New Covenant account of Moses and Elijah appearing on a mount while the Messiah was ‘transfigured’ in the presence of a small remnant of disciples.

Only 3 disciples were on the mount and the rest were down below fighting and losing against demons.

We have an account of Elijah even covering his face on a mount in the Old Testament.

40 days from today, that event seems hinted at with the Father’s timekeeping.

Interestingly, there are days in the next 40 that the account of a baptism and driven into the wilderness occurs in the New Covenant scriptures.
Maybe we get hints of when Elijah was on the mount and what future events may unfold on certain days in the future.

Again, quite the timely post!

God wrote the 10 commandments two times. Moses brought the second set of stones after breaking the set God provided.
