Deu 9:10. With the finger of God — Immediately and miraculously, which was done not only to procure the greater reverence to the law, but also to signify that it is the work of God alone to write this law upon the table of men’s hearts. In the day of the assembly — That is, when the people were gathered by God’s command to the bottom of mount Sinai, to hear and receive God’s ten commandments from his own mouth.

9:10 Speaking of God’s own finger (see study notes on 4:34 and 8:2) emphasizes God’s personal interest and involvement in communicating the text of the covenant (Exod 31:18; 32:15-16; 34:1, 28).

10. tables of stone written with the finger of God] Taken exactly from. Exo_31:18 b, E: the divine name is not changed to the usual the Lord thy God. With His own voice, face to face, God spake the words of the covenant (Deu_4:12 f., Deu_5:4) and now with His own finger wrote them. Thus by a double metaphor is the directly divine origin and supreme sanctity of the Ten Words emphasised.

all the words, which the Lord had spoken] Exo_24:3. E.

out of the midst of the fire] Deu_4:12, Deu_5:4; Deu_5:22.

day of the assembly] Deu_10:4, Deu_18:16. See note on Deu_5:22.

The verse seems superfluous after 9 and before 11, and is regarded as a later intrusion (Steuern., Berth.). Note that—

11 follows naturally on Deu_9:9.

And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God,.... The letters were of his devising and forming, the writing was his, the engraving them on the stones was his own doing; and which was done to show its original, to stamp a divine authority on it, and to denote its duration; see Exo 31:18.

and on them was written according to all the words which the Lord spake with you in the mount; the ten commands, exactly in the same order, and in the same words, without any variation, as they were delivered to them with an articulate voice in their hearing; but now were written in this manner, that they might be read by them, and remain with them, see Exo 34:28.

out the midst of the fire; in which the Lord was, and whence he spake:

in the day of the assembly; when all the people of Israel were gathered together at the foot of the mount; see Exo 19:17.
