13  And Jehovah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people. 14  Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. 15  And I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. 16  And I saw, and behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God: ye had made for yourselves a molten calf; ye had quickly turned aside from the way which Jehovah had commanded you. 17  And I seized the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. 18  And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights, —I ate no bread and drank no water, —because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger. 19  For I was afraid of the anger and fury wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. And Jehovah listened unto me also at that time. 20  And with Aaron Jehovah was very angry to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
