11 And it came to passe at the end of fourty dayes and fourty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

12 And the LORD said unto me, * Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy peopie which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: they are quick ly turned afide out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

13 Furthermore, the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked 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 then 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.

19 (For I was afraid of the anger, and hot difpleasure wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you) But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

21 And I took your finne, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even untill it was as small as duft: and I caft the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
