What is the origin of not written in stone?
The usual expression is 'not carved in stone'. If you think about how easy it is to erase something written in pencil, and a little less easy to erase something written in ink, think how hard it would be to change an inscription that had (for example) been carved on a tombstone. Almost impossible. So to say that something is 'not carved in stone' means that it might possibly be changed. Also there is a hearkening back to when God wrote the Ten Commandments into stone with his own finger in Exodus. This has a twofold meaning, one, that what it written has a permanence as stated in the upper portion of the answer, and two, that God has deemed it so and so it will be. The clearest reading of Exodus is that Moses carved God's revelation in stone and brought it down from Mount Sinai. Answer 2:This saying could also be tracked back to its companion saying "Written in Stone" and the days of King Hammurabi of Babylon. King Hammurabi had his laws written into stone tablets (that still survive today) quoting that they should not be changed or 'marred' by anyone that came after him. This was intentional as many laws written or unwritten was changed at will of the king.Also please note that this form of written stone law pre-dates the stones of Moses (of which no known copy exists) by 500 years, also note that the story from Exodus / Deuteronomy has been changed for the current bible, the original text has 613 laws (commandments) written in stone - Torah, the law of Moses from the original Hebrew 'bibles' (see links attached).

Where is the code of Hammurabi currently located?
The physical copies of the laws are usually carved in stone and are hence very hard to destroy completely, thus many examples of them survive.
