Deuteronomy 10:1–4 makes it pretty clear that it was God who did the writing.

Ancient Hebrew sometimes changes the subject of the sentence when
changing clauses, with the personal pronouns not giving a clear
picture of the change. It is not common, but I have noticed it but not
noted it (written down examples to show others). We need to look at
context in those cases to determine who the subject is in those
clauses.
