“And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.”
So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, breaking them to pieces before your eyes — Moses' action is both justified legal response (the covenant has been broken) and prophetic sign: the tablets' shattering mirrors the broken covenant. The shattering occurs before the people's eyes, making visible their covenant-rupture.
