The tablets of the law are referred to frequently in Exodus by the term ʿedūt.15 It is usually translated “testimony” in English Bibles. The term is used in parallel with torah (“law”) in Psalms 19:7 and 78:5, so at the very least it speaks of the written text of the law.

What makes this interesting is that the term ʿedūt can also mean “witnesses.”
