Moses Descends and Executes Judgment

Exodus 32:15-20

Moshe turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets inscribed on both sides, on the front and on the back.

The tablets were the work of God; and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.

When Y'hoshua heard the noise of the people shouting he said to Moshe, "It sounds like war in the camp!"

He answered, "That is neither the clamor of victory nor the wailings of defeat; what I hear is the sound of people singing."

But the moment Moshe got near the camp, when he saw the calf and the dancing, his own anger blazed up. He threw down the tablets he had been holding and shattered them at the base of the mountain.

Seizing the calf they had made, he melted it in the fire and ground it to powder, which he scattered on the water. Then he made the people of Isra'el drink it.
