Stones of the Ten Commandments

In most artwork I’ve seen depicting the Ten Commandments the commandments are divided up between the tablets, either 4 on one side, 6 on the other, or 5 and 5. However, some Jewish scholars believe that all ten of the commandments were inscribed on each tablet, noting that this was a covenant between the Lord and Israel.

I believe it’s more important to understand God’s requirement of us than quibble over the layout of the tablets, but this is an interesting observation about the relationship between the Lord and His people.
