Exodus 32:16

16 et factas opere Dei scriptura quoque Dei erat sculpta in tabulis

Exodus 32:16 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 32:16

And the tables were the work of God
And not of angels or men; the stones were made and formed by God into the shape they were:

and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables;
the letters in which the law was written were of his framing, devising, and engraving; and this was to show that this law was his own, and contained his mind and will; and to give the greater dignity and authority to it, and to deter men from breaking it.

14 placatusque est Dominus ne faceret malum quod locutus fuerat adversus populum suum

15 et reversus est Moses de monte portans duas tabulas testimonii manu scriptas ex utraque parte

16 et factas opere Dei scriptura quoque Dei erat sculpta in tabulis

17 audiens autem Iosue tumultum populi vociferantis dixit ad Mosen ululatus pugnae auditur in castris

18 qui respondit non est clamor adhortantium ad pugnam neque vociferatio conpellentium ad fugam sed vocem cantantium ego audio
