Best Answer

A:

Biblical tradition says that the Ten Commandments were written onto stone by Moses, and that he then wrote the Books of Exodus and Deuteronomy, in which he also wrote the Ten Commandments, although each one slightly different as if by different authors. Of course, paper was not used at this stage, so Moses would have used papyrus or parchment.

Biblical scholars say that the Exodus story is a legend with no historical basis, in which case, the Ten Commandments were not written on stone by Moses. Also, Moses did not write the Pentateuch, which was actually written over a period of several centuries during the first millennium BCE. The earliest written copies of the Ten Commandments would have been on papyrus or parchment.

What kind of stone were the Ten Commandment written on?

The Bible does not say what type of stone was used. As it is reported that over ninety per cent of scholars do not believe that there was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, the story of the Ten Commandments is equally fictitional, and the Ten Commandments were not originally written on stone, but in the Bible.
