How come it took god 10yrs to carve the stone tablets for the 10 commandments, could moses have done it himsel

Question

I mean you would think that someone who open the sea, turns the nile red in a minute will carve two tables in a minute - not 10 years

Answer 1

At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt put them in the ark. And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.
(Deu 10:1-4)


Where do you get 10 years out of that?

Answer 2

We do not know how long it took. In Exodus the 31st and 32nd chapter it never defines a specific amount of time that Moses was on the mountain. However, it is unlikely that it was 10 years. The Bible is specific on who wrote the tablets though. Exodus 31:18 " Now as soon as he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai he proceeded to give Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone written on by God's finger."

Answer 3

There is no such thing written of spoken of on earth that says it took God ten years.Wow are you way off.Moses spent forty days with God,I am sure it took a minute for God to write the law. The
forty days they were together was to teach Moses all things. God
calls Moses His friend.

Answer 4

It would take a person a lot less time than 10 years to carve into stone.

Answer 5

Moses was in the mountain for many days and nights but not years, I'm sure God spoke to him about other things as well.

Answer 6

Where did you get the idea it took 10 years? It didn't! Check your sources. The Bible states, "He was with the Lord forty days and forty nights......and He wrote upon the tables......the ten commandments." Exodus 34: 28......40 DAYS.

Answer 7

Where do you get 10 yrs at in the bible, Moses was not on that mountain for 10 yrs.

Answer 8

It only took God 1 day, if that, to write the 10 commandments.

The question is this....Do you obey them?

Answer 9

Don't be silly! it did not take 10 years!

Besides moses broke it after he saw them worshipping the golden calf, so God gave them another one!

What???? that took another 10 years???

Answer 10

No. I even have come to understand that the regulation of God as in the ten became given to guy at introduction. in case you became to look on the historic previous of Adam to Jesus"sin" could nonetheless be evaluate via God because of the fact the transgression of his regulation(1John 3:4)" Sin is the transgression of the regulation".... as quickly as we qoute Romans 3:23, we understand all have sinned so it remains that those below distinctive dispensations broke the ten commandments. That is going for devil additionally whom Jesus called a "homicide from the begining". What has take place is that maximum protestants see the giving of the regulation at Mt. Sinia basically whilst the two regulation of God and regulation of Moses became joined to Israel below that covenant. till now they became given the sabbath commandment on stone tables, they already broke it in recieving of the manna in (Exd.sixteen:28 - 29). God asked Moses " How long refuse ye to maintain my commandments and my regulations ?" This became to no longer Moses at present yet to the individuals, so it became glaring that it did exist till now he gave it to Israel. properly you is probably no longer confident via that explination so right this is yet another that consents with the 1st. Adam positioned Eve till now God and that became idolatry, Cain slew Abel that became homicide, Jacob lied to his father Isaac and that became baring fake wittness against Esau. those kinds of became carried out till now Mt.Sinai and apostle Paul concluded that became why the regulation of Moses became further to the ten commandments(Gal.3:10,19). I were reading this as a Messianic Jew and could no longer positioned my finger on the thank you to describe the version in the two regulations till God responded my prayers. The regulation of Moses is named via Paul" the e book of the regulation" thats a similar e book that became put in the area of the ark of the covenant(Duet. 31:24 -26) the ten commandments is named " The Royal regulation", James 2:8 which became the only written via God and located contained in the ark(Duet.10:a million-5). So it would not advise that morality got here from yet another source yet God has his regulation in the unique sanctuary in heaven. this is the place Jesus is on the Holy places and Paul in (hebrews 8:a million-5), tells us appropriate to the ministry of christ in heaven. In revelation 11;19, John sees the temple and the ark of his covenant and that's what Moses became commanded to repeat in the international.(Rev.11:19 & Exd.25:9-18)
