A biblical traditionalist would say that God wrote the Ten Commandments, although, after breaking the first set, Moses may have copied them under God's instructions.

Someone who accepts the Book of Exodus as historical but doubts divine intervention might simply say that Moses wrote them.

Most biblical scholars say that the Ten Commandments began as oral traditions in the early part of the first millennium BCE and two very different versions were later written down by anonymous sources now known as the Yahwist (Exodus 34) and the Elohist (Exodus 20). A later version, written by the Priestly source, is almost the same the the Elohist version of the Ten Commandments. Thus, the Ten Commandments date from much later than attributed to Moses, who had no role in their writing.

The Scripture states:

Deuteronomy 9:10New King James Version (NKJV)

10 Then the LORD delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
