2606. In former times the Old Testament Word used to be called The Law and The Prophets, the Law being used to mean all the historical narratives, which are the five books of Moses and the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings, ¹ and the term Prophetical to mean all the prophetical utterances, which are the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, ² Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. There were also the Psalms of David. The historical sections of the Word are also referred to as 'Moses', and therefore the expression 'Moses and the Prophets' is used in various places instead of the Law and the Prophets, while the Prophetical parts are referred to as 'Elijah'. See the Preface to Genesis 18.

10376. 'The tablets of stone, written with the finger of God' means the Divine Truth there, coming from the Lord Himself. This is clear from the meaning of 'the tablets' as the law in its entirety, thus the Word, dealt with in 9416; from the meaning of 'stone' as Divine Truth on lowest levels, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'being written with the finger of God' as coming from the Lord Himself, for what is written with anyone's finger comes from that person himself. The reason why those tablets were made of stone and the words of the law were written into the stone was that 'stone' means truth on lowest levels, and Divine Truth on lowest levels is the sense of the letter of the Word, containing the internal sense.

'Stone' means truth, see 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, 9476, and truth on lowest levels, 8609.
