The word of YHWH is refined
As silver and gold are refined.
When these letters came forth, they were all refined,
Carved precisely, sparkling, flashing.
All of Israel saw the letters
Flying through space in every direction,
Engraving themselves on the tablets of stone.
--The Zohar

this is an interesting piece since many commentators say that Moshe wrote the tablets himself, and not that they were written by themselves..
