A:

Exodus 31:18: "And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God."

The ancients sometimes thought of God as anthropomorphic and sometimes as more transcendent. Exodus chapters 31 to 33 contains material from a number of sources, all of which held different understandings of the nature of God, forcing the later sources to attempt to harmonise different sections of the narrative. Exodus 31:18 is generally attributed to the Priestly Source, writing during the Babylonian Exile. We do not have to regard the reference to the 'finger of God' as a literal statement.
