God inscribed the Law on the first pair of tablets. When Moses came back down from the mountain, though, he discovered that the people had already broken the law and were sinning greatly. In anger Moses smashed the tablets. After this God commanded Moses to return to the mountain, create two more tablets of stone, and inscribe the Law on these replacements. Presumably Moses had memorized what was on the first tablets, or God told Moses what to write.
According to the Old Testament, he gave them to Moses to deliver to the Hebrews.Answer #2First God spoke the Ten Commandments to the entire Israelite community in the presence of Moses and Aaron in Exodus 20. In Exodus 19:25 Moses was told to go back down the mountain to the people and immediately afterwards the Ten Commandments were given. The two stone tablets were given to Moses on the mountain after this public hearing of the Ten Commandments.
The original two tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18) were destroyed by Moses (Exodus 32:19). In Exodus 34, God told Moses to "Prepare two stone tablets, like the first ones. I will write on them the same words that were on the tablets you smashed". The words of the Ten Commandments are listed in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. Their wording differs somewhat, though the commands themselves are identical. The Ten Commandments were written on two stone tablets and those commandments can be grouped into two categories. In Matthew 22:34-40 Jesus condensed the Ten Commandments into two sets of commands: 1. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" 2. "Love your neighbor as yourself". Reverence for God is the basis for the first group, and reverence and love for others was the basis for the second group. If you obeyed both of these commandments then you would obey all Ten Commandments."

In ancient times, laws were only as effective as the ruler who promulgated them, so the best laws were those based on religion. The Ten Commandments were the most important of many commandments in the Hebrew Bible and were written down as having been received from God, thus ensuring their absolute observance by the faithful. The Ten Commandments is a mix of codes to ensure proper religious observance, and rules for harmonious society.A:Whether the Ten Commandments are really of divine origin depends on whether the biblical Exodus from Egypt is historically true. On this, the strong consensus of biblical scholars is that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, in which case the story of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God can not be historical. There is no evidence that the Ten Commandments ever existed outside the Bible. They belong to traditions put down in writing during the middle centuries of the first millennium BCE. The first four commandments focus on religious observance. In fact the first three commandments are essentially different ways of saying to worship no other god. The remaining six commandments focus on some rules for a harmonious society. We need not regard them as rules for strict moral conduct because, for example, the tenth commandment says not to do not covet that which belongs to your neighbour, including his wife and slaves. We no longer think of wives as mere chattels, and ownership of slaves is now considered morally repugnant.The Ten Commandments hold a more honoured place in Christian religion than in modern Judaism. For Jews, although important, they are ten of the many important biblical laws they must obey. For Christians, the Ten Commandments are at the heart of the Old Testament.
It is hard to say , but Psalm 90 and 91 are of Moses.
God was but when moses smashed the 1st set God made him write the next.
According to the Bible, yes. Moses was given them the first time in Exodus 31:18 and when he came down from the mountain the Israelites were breaking all the commandments so he threw the stone tablets down and broke them -- Exodus 32:19. Moses later went up on the mountain and received the re-written commandments in Exodus 34. Exodus 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. Exodus 34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. === ===

Moses was committed to God mostly as he did write the ten commandments.
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.
Moses did not "find" the ten commmandments, God gave them to him on two tablets of stone.
Nothing. It was God who wrote them (Exodus 31:18), not Moses.See also:http://www.academia.edu/1651319/Is_the_Exodus_Story_Possiblehttp://www.biblicalchronologist.org/answers/exodus_egypt.phpAnd archaeology in general:http://judaism.answers.com/hebrew/does-archaeology-support-the-hebrew-bible

The original two tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18) were destroyed by Moses (Exodus 32:19). In Exodus 34, God told Moses to "Prepare two stone tablets, like the first ones.

The only thing that God wrote directly was the two Stone Tablets of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). According to tradition, this was in 1312 BCE. The rest of the Torah was the words of God (Exodus 24:12), written by Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24) before he died in 1272 BCE.

You should differentiate between two different events regarding this question.The first is the giving of the two tablets of stone on which the Ten Commandments were engraved. The story of Hashem (G-O-D) giving these tablets to Moses is mentioned in the book of Exodus (33:15-16 and 34:1).The second is the writing of the five books of Moses which is mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy (Devarim), 31:19-26. In these verses the Torah is called "The Song" and Hashem commands Moses to write it for the next generations.
