21. And I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I cast the dust of it into the brook that came down out of the mountain.
22. At Taberah also and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you provoked the Lord to wrath.
23. Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you, then you rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and you did not believe Him or trust and rely on Him or obey His voice.
24. You have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
25. So I fell down and lay prostrate before the Lord forty days and nights because the Lord had said He would destroy you.
26. And I prayed to the Lord, O Lord God, do not destroy Your people and Your heritage, whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
