Deuteronomy 9:8-16 Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to you.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to you. ⁹ When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water. ¹⁰ And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting. ¹¹ Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement. ¹² And the Lord said to me, Get up now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal image. ¹³ And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked: ¹⁴ Let me send destruction on them till their very name is cut off; and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they. ¹⁵ So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands. ¹⁶ And I saw that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.
