15. So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with eish; and the shnei Luchot HaBrit were in my two hands.
16. And I looked, and, hinei, ye had sinned against Hashem Eloheicha, and had made you an egel massekhah (a molten calf); ye had turned aside quickly out of HaDerech (The Way) which Hashem had commanded you.
17. And I took the shnei haluchot, and cast them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes.
18. And I fell down before Hashem, as at the first, arba'im yom and arba'im lailah; I did neither eat lechem, nor drink mayim, because of kol chattatchem ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of Hashem, to provoke Him to anger.
19. For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Hashem was angry against you to destroy you. But Hashem listened unto me at that time also.
20. And Hashem was very angry with Aharon to have made him shmad; and I davened on behalf of Aharon also at that time.
