Exodus 32:16-35 And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God written on the tablets.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God written on the tablets. ¹⁷ And Joshua, having heard the voice of the people crying, said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. ¹⁸ And Moses said, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor the voice of them that begin the cry of defeat, but the voice of them that begin the banquet of wine that I hear. ¹⁹ And when he drew near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dances; and Moses, being very angry, cast the two tablets out of his hands and broke them to pieces under the mountain. ²⁰ And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it. ²¹ And Moses said to Aaron, What have this people done to you, that you have brought such a great sin upon them? ²² And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, my lord, for you know the impulsiveness of this people. ²³ For they said to me, Make us gods which shall go before us; as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him. ²⁴ And I said to them, If anyone has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them to me, and I cast them into the fire, and this calf came out. ²⁵ And when Moses saw that the people were scattered (for Aaron had scattered them so as to be a rejoicing to their enemies) ²⁶ then Moses stood at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? Let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him. ²⁷ And he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Let every man put his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and kill every man his brother, and every man his neighbor, and every man that is nearest to him. ²⁸ And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the number of three thousand men. ²⁹ And Moses said to them, You have filled your hands this day to the Lord, each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you. ³⁰ And it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I may make atonement for your sin. ³¹ And Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people have sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods. ³² And now if You will forgive their sin, forgive; and if not, blot me out of Your book, which You have written. ³³ And the Lord said to Moses, If anyone has sinned against Me, I will blot them out of My book. ³⁴ And now go, descend from here, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke to you: behold, My angel shall go before your face; and in the day when I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin. ³⁵ And the Lord struck the people for the making of the calf, which Aaron made.
