10 Therefore leave me, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and I will destroy them, and I will make a great nation out of you.

11 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, let not thy wrath be kindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand,

12 lest the Egyptians should say, 'He brought them out to destruction, to kill them in the mountains, and to destroy them from off the face of the earth.' turn away Thy fiery wrath, and undo the destruction of Thy people;

13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel [Jacob], your servants, to whom you swore by yourself, saying, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land of which I have spoken, I will give to your seed, and they will possess it forever.'

14 And the Lord took away the evil which he had said he would bring upon his people.

15 And Moses turned and came down from the mountain; In his hand were two tablets of revelation [of stone], on which was written on both sides: on both sides was written;

16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writings written on the tablets were the writings of God.

17 And Jesus heard the voice of the people making a noise, and said to Moses, 'There is a cry of war in the camp.'

18 But [Moses] said, 'This is not the cry of those who overcome, nor the cry of those who are slain; I hear the voice of the singers.

19 And when he drew near to the camp, and saw the calf and the dances, then he was inflamed with anger, and cast the tablets out of his hand, and broke them under the mountain;

20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it to dust, and scattered it over the water, and gave it to the children of Israel to drink.

21 And Moses said to Aaron, 'What have this people done to you, that you have led them into great sin?'

22 But Aaron said [to Moses], 'Let not my lord's anger be kindled; You know these people that they are violent.

23 And they said unto me, Make us a god to go before us; for with Moses, with this man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened.
