Deuteronomy 9:7–12

⁷Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: ^ofrom the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord. ⁸Also ^pin Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you. ^9qWhen I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the mount ^rforty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water: ^10sand the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire ^tin the day of the assembly. ¹¹And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. ¹²And the Lord said unto me, ^uArise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are ^xquickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
