Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 31:18

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 .

(i. e.) The tables of the law, which was the witness of Gods will and Israels duty. See Exod. 16. 34.

Whereby was signified both the durable and perpetual obligation of the moral law, whereas the ceremonial law was to end with the Iewish policy at Christs coming, and the stoniness of mens hearts by nature, in which the law of God could not be written but by a divine and omnipotent h[illegible: 1+ letters]d.

(i. e.) With the power or spirit of God, by comparing Mat. 12. 18. not by any art of man, but immediately by a divine hand.
