Ramban on Exodus 31:18/רמב"ן על שמות ל״א:י״ח

אוַיִּתֵּן אֶל מֹשֶׁה נִמְשָׁךְ לְפָנָיו, אֶל "אֱלֹהִים" הַנִּזְכָּר בְּסוֹף הַפָּסוּק, וַיִּתֵּן אֱלֹהִים אֶל מֹשֶׁה, כַּאֲשֶׁר הִזְכִּיר בַּדִּבּוּר, "וַיְדַבֵּר אֱלֹהִים אֵת כָּל הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה" (שמות כ':א'), וּבַמַּעֲשֶׂה וּבַמִּכְתָּב, "וְהַלֻּחֹת מַעֲשֵׂה אֱלֹהִים הֵמָּה וְהַמִּכְתָּב מִכְתַּב אֱלֹהִים" (שמות ל"ב:ט"ז), וְכֵן בַּנְּתִינָה, וַיִּתֵּן אֱלֹהִים אֶל מֹשֶׁה:
1AND HE GAVE UNTO MOSES. This is connected with the end-part of the verse, where the word “G-d” is mentioned, thus meaning: “and G-d gave unto Moses.” Just as Scripture mentioned concerning G-d’s communicating with Moses, And G-d spoke all these words,254 and with reference to the work of the Tablets of Law and the writing thereon it says, And the Tablets were the work of G-d, and the writing was the writing of G-d,255 so also it says concerning the giving, and G-d gave to Moses.
