Hahaaaaaaaa, I will not go ANYWHERE!!
Well, christian iconography usually picture the ten commandments engraved in [Ketav Ashurit/Classic hebrew] on the tablets.
But, picture this.
We have this Moses/musa-fellow, raised as an Egyptian prince, at least as an Egyptian aristocrat at Pharaoh's court. We may assume that his education involved some literacy. Now the chance that he learned the language of slaves, other than its simplest form to command them, is less than modest.
Remember also that there was no written torah, for the simple reason that Moses/musa had not yet given that to the jews (Whatever they believed instead is beyond my speculation, but it was certainly not torah which just did not exist yet). Consequently, there was not yet the huge amount of Jewish writing and literature, and no rabbi's to teach him.
That reduces the chances he had for Ketav Ashurit/ hebrew literacy even further. Not to mention the fact ht tot 70 Ad jewish religion was an oral tradition.
Now, when the chazzer went up that mountain, some thirteen centuries BC, there even did not even exist a Ketav Ashurit/ Hebrew alphabet. and the traditional Hebrew alphabet came not into existence until long after Moses/musa. Chances seem somewhat better that Moses/musa knew at least some Akkadian, as it seemed to have been a commercial lingua franca, and the court doubtlessly had its mercantile contacts.
But things being as they are, he would probably have read and written Egyptian, learned by and from clerks and priests as an aristocrat at the court should. So, when forced to carving holy shit in stone, he will have used the language that by its nature and origins was reserved for the gods: Egyptian.
Which leaves us with the ten commandments in hieroglyphs.
Isn't that funny!? Hahaaaaa
You don't even understand the story. Try again.
Where are my proofs? I still need my proof that God does not exist.
Naona sasa ndio unakimbia.
