Deuteronomy 9:15-20
-
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
-
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
-
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
-
18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
-
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
-
20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
