12 And the LORD faid unto me, P Arife, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou haft brought forth out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: they are quickly turned afide out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a 'molten image.

13 Furthermore, the LORD fpake unto me, faying, I have feen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

18 And I fell down before the LORD, Exod. 34.29. as at the first, forty days and forty nights; Í I did neither eat bread nor drink water, because of all your fins which ye finned, in doing wickedly in the fight 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 hearkned unto me at that time also.

20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him : and I prayed for Aaron alfo the fame time.

21 And " I took your fin, the calf which "Exod.32.1 ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very fmall, even until it was as small as duft and I caft the dust thereof into the brook that defcended out of the mount.

27 Remember thy fervants, Abraham, Ifaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their fin:

28 Left the land whence thou broughtest us out, fay, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to flay them in the wilderness.
