Then the people H5971 saw H7200 that Moses H4872 delayed H954 to come H3381 down H3381 from the mountain H2022. So the people H5971 assembled H6950 about H5921 Aaron H175 and said H559 to him, “Arise H6965, make H6213 us [fn]gods H430 who H834 will go H1980 before H6440 us; as for this H2088 Moses H4872, the man H376 who H834 brought H5927 us up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, we do not know H3045 what H4100 has become H1961 of him.”
Then Moses H4872 entreated H2470 [fn]the favor H2470 H6440 of Yahweh H3068 his God H430 and said H559, “O Yahweh H3068, why H4100 does Your anger H639 burn H2734 against Your people H5971 whom H834 You have brought H3318 out H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 with great H1419 power H3581 and with a strong H2389 hand H3027?
Then Moses H4872 turned H6437 and went H3381 down H3381 from the mountain H2022. And the two H8147 tablets H3871 of the testimony H5715 were in his hand H3027, tablets H3871 which were written H3789 on both H8147 [fn]sides H5676; they were written H3789 on one H2088 side and the other H2088.
Now it happened H1961, as soon H834 as [fn]Moses came H7126 near H7126 the camp H4264, that he saw H7200 the calf H5695 and the dancing H4246; and Moses’ H4872 anger H639 burned H2734, and he threw H7993 the tablets H3871 from his hands H3027 and shattered H7665 them [fn]at H8478 the H8478 foot H8478 of H8478 the mountain H2022.
