Another matter, “write for yourself,” the Holy One blessed be He said to Moses: ‘I wrote the first tablets, as it is written: “Written with the finger of God” (Deuteronomy 9:10). But the second [tablets], you write and hopefully I will give a hand.’3God would assist Moses in inscribing the tablets. This is analogous to a king who married a woman and wrote her a marriage document of his own.4On his paper in his handwriting.

Sometime later she sinned and he expelled her from his house. Her attendant came and reconciled her with the king. The king said to the attendant: ‘I have reconciled with her. Prepare a marriage document for her and hopefully I will give a hand.’

That is what is written: “I will inscribe on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets” (Deuteronomy 10:2).5In this verse, God tells Moses that after Moses carves the tablets, God will inscribe them with the words that were on the first tablets.
