From Galatians 4:22-24 plus 28-29 and 5:1 Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise. These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery. We, like Isaac, are children of promise. The son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

It depends
[Heb 10:23-25 KJV] 23 Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Given by God but mediated by angels:
“The Lord came from Sinai,
And dawned on them from Seir;
He shone forth from Mount Paran,
And He came with ten thousands of saints;
From His right hand
Came a fiery law for them.”
Elsewhere ”saints“ is written as “angels”.
The Hand of the King is not really the king’s hand: he simply represents the king completely.
“18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.”
Does this mean God’s holy phalange? No, God is spirit. An angel completed the work. Nevertheless, God gave the order.

Sure, no problem. It means angels laid out the law in an orderly manner for Moses so he could write it down. Notice that the law was until Christ, meaning it was temporary.

2. (specially) institute, prescribe, etc.

G5021 τάσσω tasso (tas'-sō) v.
1. to arrange in an orderly manner.
2. (generally) to assign or dispose (to a certain position or lot).
Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Galatians 3:19-20
