05:009:010 And the lord delivered unto me two
tables of stone written
with
the finger of God; and on them was written according
to
all
the words, which the lord spake with you in the
mount out
of
the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
05:009:011 And it came to pass at the end of forty
days and forty nights,
that
the lord gave me the two tables of stone, even
the tables
of
the covenant.
05:009:012 And the lord said unto me, Arise,
get thee down quickly from
hence;
for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of
Egypt
have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned
aside
out
of the way which I commanded them; they have made them
a
molten
image.
05:009:013 Furthermore the lord spake unto me,
saying, I have seen this
people,
and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
05:009:014 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.
05:009:015 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.
05:009:016 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned
against the lord your
God,
and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned
aside
quickly
out of the way which the lord had commanded you.
05:009:017 And I took the two tables, and cast them
out of my two hands,
and
brake them before your eyes.
05:009:018 And I fell down before the lord, 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 lord, to provoke him to anger.
05:009:019 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure,
wherewith
the
lord was wroth against you to destroy you.
But the lord
hearkened
unto me at that time also.
05:009:020 And the lord was very angry with Aaron
to have destroyed him:
and
I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
05:009:021 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.
05:009:022 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah,
ye
provoked
the lord to wrath.
05:009:023 Likewise when the lord sent you from
Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go
up
and possess the land which I have given you; then ye
rebelled
against the commandment of the lord your God,
and ye
believed
him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
