8Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to you.
9When 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.
10And 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.
11Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement.
12And 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.
13And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked:
14Let 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.
