Rotherham(i)
13 And Yahweh spake unto me, saying,––I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff–necked people, it is.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and wipe out their name, from under the heavens,––and make thee into a nation stronger and more in number than they.
15 So I turned, and came down out of the mountain, now, the mountain, was burning with fire,––and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands.
16 Then looked I, and lo! ye had sinned against Yahweh your God, ye had made you a molten calf,––ye had turned aside quickly, out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.
17 So I seized the two tables, and cast them from off my two hands,––and brake them in pieces before your eyes.
18 Then lay I prostrate before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights, food, did I not eat, and, water, did I not drink,––because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.
19 For I shrank with fear, from the face of the anger and the hot displeasure, wherewith Yahweh was provoked against you, to destroy you,––but Yahweh hearkened unto me, even at that time.
20 And, with Aaron, did Yahweh show himself exceedingly angry, to destroy him,––so I prostrated myself, even in behalf of Aaron, at that time.
