HALEIVI asked:
Who got to see the front and who got to see the back? Was that also a Ness that all the Jews got to read?
I’m not sure how the luchos were situated on har Sianai, all I said was that there ARE sources that clearly say that the luchos were on Har Sianai DURING MATAN TORAH. so as far as that point goes, the pictures are right!
As far as the question of reading goes, there is a medrash which explains the possuk “meezeh umeezeh heim kesuvim” to mean that the words of the luchos could be read from every and any angle which you looked at them, and although the writing was engraved trough and through from one side to the other, they were able to be read IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION from all sides. and Yes, this was a ness.
