The Exodus is supposed to have happened about 1440 BC. So, not Hebrew.
Moses was supposed to have been raised by Pharaoh's daughter, in Pharaoh's household from right after his birth until adulthood, so what he could read and write had to be either hieroglyphics or hieratic.
If he could read the original set of tablets written by God, then they also had to be written in either hieroglyphic or demotic.
Therefore, both sets of tablets had to be written in either Egyptian hieroglyphics or Egyptian hieratic. Otherwise, no one there could have read them, and to those present they would have just been rock slabs with squiggly things on them.
One way to know for sure would be to find the Ark of the Covenant, because it is supposed to house the tablets.
There is also a slight possibility that they were written in Akkadian cuneiform, because that became a sort of lingua franca in the middle east in the second millennium BC. Yet another possibility is proto-Sianitic, since it did exist at the time as shown by finds a Serabit el Khadim.

In the Masoretic Text from which the Bible is translated, the commandments do not say "Thou shalt not kill" They say "thou shalt not do murder". There is a difference, because some killings are justified.

“Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage among his books. For to you kingdoms and their armies are things mighty and enduring, but to him they are but toys of the moment, to be overturned with the flick of a finger.”
