Moses' First Two Tablets

Exodus 32:15-16 "Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back. The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.

Dear Lord,
I know I am not the only one to ever see this...but this is the first time I did.  When we think of the tablets Moses had on the Mt Sinai, we think of the Ten Commandments; five writteen on each tablet...and that is all.  Here, by what this says...it looks like all that you told Moses about how to build the tabernacle may have been written on the first tablets.
The on the second tablets--the Covenant Tablets, You inscribed the Ten Commandments...but was that all?

Lord, I would love to have been able to see those first tablets inscribed by You in stone!  Did you write very very tiny, or did You give Moses super strength to carry 2 huge stones up and down Mt Sinai?


Somehow, I don't believe since Moses and the people were Hebrew that the tablets had Roman Numerals inscribed on them like we see them in artist interpretations today..
