8 Even in Horeb, ye provoked Yahweh to wrath,––so that Yahweh showed himself angry with you, to destroy you.
9 When I went up into the mountain, to receive the tables of stone––the tables of the covenant, which Yahweh had solemnised with you, then abode I in the mountain, forty days and forty nights, food, did I not eat, and, water, did I not drink.
10 Then did Yahweh deliver unto me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God,––and [there was], upon them, according to all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the convocation.
11 So then it came to pass, at the end of forty days, and forty nights, that Yahweh gave unto me, the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
12 Then said Yahweh unto me––Up! get down quickly out of this mountain, for thy people whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have broken faith,––they have turned aside quickly, out of the way which I commanded them,––they have made them a molten image.
13 And Yahweh spake unto me, saying,––I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff–necked people, it is.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and wipe out their name, from under the heavens,––and make thee into a nation stronger and more in number than they.
15 So I turned, and came down out of the mountain, now, the mountain, was burning with fire,––and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands.
16 Then looked I, and lo! ye had sinned against Yahweh your God, ye had made you a molten calf,––ye had turned aside quickly, out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.
