rsv Deuteronomy:9:12-24
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:12 @ Then the LORD said to me, `Arise, go down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly; they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molten image.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:13 @ "Furthermore the LORD said to me, `I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stubborn people;
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:14 @ let me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:15 @ So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:16 @ And I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf; you had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:17 @ So I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:18 @ Then I lay prostrate before the LORD as before, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin which you had committed, in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:19 @ For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure which the LORD bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened to me that time also.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:20 @ And the LORD was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:21 @ Then I took the sinful thing, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I threw the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:22 @ "At Tab'erah also, and at Massah, and at Kib'roth-hatta'avah, you provoked the LORD to wrath.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:23 @ And when the LORD sent you from Ka'desh-bar'nea, saying, `Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you,' then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and did not believe him or obey his voice.
rsv@Deuteronomy:9:24 @ You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
