Moses is speaking to the Israelites, reminding them of the momentous occasion when God gave him the two stone tablets. These tablets were inscribed by God's own hand, emphasizing their divine origin and authority. The commandments written on them were meant to guide the Israelites in their covenant relationship with God. This event took place on Mount Sinai, amidst fire and awe, signifying God's powerful presence and the seriousness of His laws. The day of assembly refers to the gathering of the Israelites at the foot of the mountain, where they witnessed God's majesty and received His instructions. This moment is foundational in the history of Israel, as it marks the formal establishment of their identity as God's chosen people, bound by His laws. The commandments serve not only as rules but as a testament to God's desire for a holy and just community, reflecting His character and will.
The LORD gave me two stone tablets inscribed by the finger of God. On them were all the commandments the LORD proclaimed to you on the mountain out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.
