Leeser(i)
13 And the Lord said unto me, thus, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people:
14 Let me alone, and I will destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and more numerous than they.
15 And I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, ye had made yourselves a molten calf; ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
17 And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and I broke them before your eyes.
18 And I threw myself down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; bread did I not eat, and water did I not drink; on account of all your sins which ye had committed, in doing what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and the indignation, wherewith the Lord was wroth against you to destroy you; but the Lord hearkened unto me also at that time.
20 And with Aaron was the Lord very angry to destroy him; and I prayed also for Aaron at the same time.
