A:

Bblical traditionalists would say that Moses wrote the story of the Ten Commandments, in both the Book of Exodus and the Book of Deuteronomy. they would point to Deuteronomy 9:10 as evidence of this: "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."

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 writing about them.

Were the Ten Commandments originally written on paper?

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.
