And when the forty days and forty nights were ended, the
LORD gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the testament,
and said unto me: Up, and get thee down quickly from hence, for
thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, have marred them
selves. They are turned at once out of the way, which I commanded
them, and have made them a god of metal. Furthermore the LORD
spake unto me saying: I see this people how that it is a
stiffnecked people, let me alone that I may destroy them and put
out the name of them from under heaven, and I will make of thee a
nation both greater and more than they. And I turned away and came
down from the hill (and the hill burnt with fire) and had the two
tables of the appointment in my hands. And when I looked and saw
that ye had sinned against the LORD your God and had made you a
calf of metal and had turned at once out of the way which the LORD
had commanded you. Then I took the two tables and cast them out of
my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. And I fell before
the LORD: even as at the first time forty days and nights, and
neither ate bread nor drank water, over all your sins which ye had
sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD and in provoking
him.
