God Wrote the Commandments
While the verse says "he wrote," commentators unanimously clarify that this refers to God, not Moses. Citing other passages (Exodus 34:1, Deuteronomy 10:2–4), they explain that God Himself inscribed the Ten Commandments on the second set of stone tablets, just as He had on the first. This act underscores the divine origin and authority of the covenant.
