Here Lehi compared Moses and a latter-day seer. “Lehi speaks of writing done by the finger of God when he tells of the vision the Lord had given to Joseph of Egypt: ‘I will write unto him my law, by the finger of mine own hand,’ no doubt referring to Moses (2 Nephi 3:17). This same image is of course found in Exodus 31:18 and Deuteronomy 9:10, which refer to ‘tables of stone written with the finger of God’” (Seely, “Image of the Hand of God,” 143).
