Deuteronomy 9:21

9:21 As for your sinful thing ¹  that you had made, the calf, I took it, melted it down, ²  ground it up until it was as fine as dust, and tossed the dust into the stream that flows down the mountain.

¹ tn Heb “your sin.” This is a metonymy in which the effect (sin) stands for the cause (the metal calf).

² tn Heb “burned it with fire.”
