Exodus 31:18

i.e. The tables of the law, which was the witness of God's will and Israel's duty. See Exodus 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 Matthew 12:18; not by any art of man, but immediately by a Divine hand. BC 1491
