^{8 Ref} Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to you.

^{9 Ref} When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water.

^{10 Ref} And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.

^{11 Ref} Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement.

^{12 Ref} And the Lord said to me, Get up now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal image.

^{13 Ref} And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked:

^{14 Ref} Let me send destruction on them till their very name is cut off; and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

^{15 Ref} So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands.

^{16 Ref} And I saw that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.
