What Moses was told to ‘write’ is different from the first Ten, alright, but you’d think the copiers of the Torah down thru the ages would SURELY notice the “I will” write in the first verse of Exodus 34, compared to the “Write” command in the 27th!!

The "copiers of the Torah down thru the ages" didn't copy English versions of the Torah, they copied Hebrew versions. In the Hebrew, the word for "I will write" in Exodus 34:1 is "כּתב" (kâthab). It's found over 200 times througout the OT and is translated as "write", "wrote", "have written", "written", "were written", etc.
The words "I will" is in the English translation and cannot be considered to be the words written by the "copiers".
