What are the living oracles which Moses received?

Acts 7:38 (ESV)

38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us.

Stephen acknowledges that the words of the law which God revealed to Moses are words of life. They are words that come from God (Romans 3:2),1 thereby teaching his people how to live and who he is.
