Ex 31:18
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Deut 4:13
13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
Here are a couple of passages you might consider.

2 Corinthians 3:3, 7 (KJV)
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

GOD spoke the 10 commandments directly to the people. They didn't want to hear GOD directly, so GOD told Moses the law, who wrote it in a 'book'. The 'book' of the law was used to make the blood covenant where the people agreed to keep the law. Then GOD wrote the 10 commandments on stone while Moses was on Mt Sinai for 40 days.

Ok stone came later. Can you direct me to where it says " book"
Or is it assumed that he would have written it in a book.
Not sure but it looks like he repeated after God.
Not a biggey just wondering. But thank you fir clearing up the stone
Will continue reading
Also. All the laws. Like someone gets killed. Live stock falls in a hole. Widow fatherless child.
Was that from God? Or was that Moses in his wisdom?
Thank you

And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Exodus 24:4
And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. Exodus 24:7-8

As I see the events.. The chapters 19-31 are all one incident of Moses up on mount Sinai. Some verses are parenthetically written in a shifting narrative of while he's in the mountain and when he later went down to speak to the people. Chapter 31:18 is the giving of the tablets of stone written by the finger of God. He has not yet gone down from the mountain at this point.
Chapter 32 shifts to the parenthetical event of the golden calf incident.. then shifts back to Moses still on mount Sinai. At 32:15 is when Moses actually went down from the mountain with the tablets of stone.
