The original stones are broken...
In Exodus 32:19 the stones holding the 10 Commandments are broken, "And it
came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf,
and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of
his hands, and brake them beneath the mount."
God says _he_ will write the laws on new stones...
In Exodus 34:1 God instructs Moses to prepare two new stones. God tells
Moses that he will write on the new stones, "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."
_Moses_ writes on the new stones...
In Exodus 34:27-28 Moses does the writing, "And the LORD said unto Moses,
Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a
covenant with thee and with Israel. And he was there with the LORD forty
days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he
wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments."

It appears that Biblegod has a fixation with forty days and forty nights.
That is the same time period of time the rain fell for his big flood.
And as an afterthought, Moses was supposed to have gone without water for that
period of time? Perhaps he had no water, but plenty of wine, or he would have
been a piece of parchment himself without fluids.
