have made them a molten image.
13
Furthermore the L
ORD
spake unto me, saying, I have seen this
people, and, behold, it
is
a stiffnecked people:
14
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot
out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15
So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables
of the covenant
were
in my two hands.
16
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the L
ORD
your God,
and
had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the
L
ORD
had commanded you.
17
And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and
brake them before your eyes.
18
And I fell down before the L
ORD
, as at the first, forty days and forty
nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing
wickedly in the sight of the L
ORD
, to provoke him to anger.
19
For I was afraid of the anger and hot
displeasure, wherewith the L
ORD
was wroth against you to destroy you. But the L
ORD
hearkened
unto me at that time also.
20
And the L
ORD
was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and
I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and
burnt it with fire, and stamped it,
and
ground
it
very small,
even
until it was as small as dust: and
I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22
And at Taberah, and at
Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the L
ORD
to wrath.
23
Likewise when the L
ORD
sent
you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye
rebelled against the commandment of the L
ORD
your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened
to his voice.
24
Ye have been rebellious against the L
ORD
from the day that I knew you.
25
Thus I
fell down before the L
ORD
forty days and forty nights, as I fell down
at the first;
because the L
ORD
had said he would destroy you.
26
I prayed therefore unto the L
ORD
, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy
not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou
hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27
Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28
Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the L
ORD
was not able to bring them

by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

ORD
said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up
unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.

And I will write on the tables the words
that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

And I made an
ark
of
shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount,
having the two tables in mine hand.
