I will give you the two flat stones on which I have written the laws that my people must obey." 13 Moses and Joshua his assistant got ready, then Moses started up the mountain to meet with God. 14 Moses had told the leaders, "Wait here until we come back. Aaron and Hur will be with you, and they can settle any arguments while we are away." 15 When Moses went up on Mount Sinai, a cloud covered it, 16 and the bright glory of the Lord came down and stayed there. The cloud covered the mountain for six days, and on the seventh day the Lord told Moses to come into the cloud. 17Moses did so and stayed there forty days and nights. To the people, the Lord 's glory looked like a blazing fire on top of the mountain.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord said unto Moses, come up to me into the mount,.... For as yet Moses was not got up to the top of the mount, only up some part of it with the elders, though at some distance from the people: but now he is bid to come up higher:
and be there; continue there, as he did six days after this:
and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that is, the law of the ten commandments, which were written on tables of stone by the Lord himself; he had already spoken them in the hearing of the people, but now he had wrote them, and that in tables of stone; partly for the duration of them, and partly to represent the hardness of the hearts of the Israelites, the stubbornness of their wills to comply with his law, their contumacy and obstinate persistence in disobedience to it:
that thou mayest teach them; these being in hand and sight, would have an opportunity of explaining them to them and inculcating them on their minds, and pressing them to yield an obedience to them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Many Jews understand the âtables of stoneâ to denote the Ten Commandments; âa law,â the law written in the Pentateuch; and the âcommandmentsâ (or âthe commandmentâ), the oral or traditional law which was in after ages put into writing in the Mishna and the Gemara. But it is more probable that the Ten Commandments alone are spoken of, and that the meaning is, âthe tables of stone with the law, even the commandment.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 24:12. Come up to me into the mount, and be there — We may suppose Moses to have been, with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the seventy elders, about midway up the mount; for it plainly appears that there were several stations on it.
