    8At Horeb you provoked him and he was angry enough with you to destroy you.

    9When I went up the mountain to receive the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I remained there forty days and nights, eating and drinking nothing.

    10The LORD gave me the two stone tablets, written by the very finger of God, and on them was everything he said to you at the mountain from the midst of the fire at the time of that assembly.

    11Now at the end of the forty days and nights the LORD presented me with the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.

    12And he said to me,“Get up, go down at once from here because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have sinned! They have quickly turned from the way I commanded them and have made for themselves a cast metal image.”

    13Moreover, he said to me,“I have taken note of these people; they are a stubborn lot!

    14Stand aside and I will destroy them, obliterating their very name from memory, and I will make you into a stronger and more numerous nation than they are.”

    15So I turned and went down the mountain while it was blazing with fire; the two tablets of the covenant were in my hands.

    16When I looked, you had indeed sinned against the LORD your God and had cast for yourselves a metal calf; you had quickly turned aside from the way he had commanded you!

    17I grabbed the two tablets, threw them down, and shattered them before your very eyes.

    18Then I again fell down before the LORD for forty days and nights; I ate and drank nothing because of all the sin you had committed, doing such evil before the LORD as to enrage him.

    19For I was terrified at the LORD’s intense anger that threatened to destroy you. But he listened to me this time as well.

    20The LORD was also angry enough at Aaron to kill him, but at that time I prayed for him too.

    21As for your sinful thing that you had made, the calf, I took it, melted it down, ground it up until it was as fine as dust, and tossed the dust into the stream that flows down the mountain.
