Dear Kevin,

Of course you mean Ex. 34 as in the subject line. Verse 27 has God telling Moses to write. Verse 28 begins "And he was there with YHWH..." - obviously Moses. There is no reason to think that "wayyiktov", "and he wrote" has a different subject in mind.

In Exodus 43:28c there is the line "and he wrote on the tablets the words of
the covenant, the ten commandments." I have no problems with the meaning of
the words, just in working out who "he" is - Moses ort God. It seems to
read more logically as Moses wrote, but I wondered if there was any rule of
syntax to solve this. Sorry I haven't written it in Hebrew transcription,
but I have only a few seconds to write.
