The "Tablets of the Law" refer to two stone tablets that, according to the Bible, were given to Moses on Mount Sinai. These tablets contained the Ten Commandments, which are fundamental ethical guidelines for the Israelites and are significant in both Judaism and Christianity. The tablets symbolize the covenant between God and the Israelites, representing divine laws that govern moral conduct. They are often depicted in religious art and are considered a foundational element of Western legal and moral systems. The tablets were later placed in the Ark of the Covenant.
