Deuteronomy 9:17

9:17 I grabbed the two tablets, threw them down, ¹  and shattered them before your very eyes.

Deuteronomy 29:28

29:28 So the Lord has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.”

Deuteronomy 9:21

9:21 As for your sinful thing ²  that you had made, the calf, I took it, melted it down, ³  ground it up until it was as fine as dust, and tossed the dust into the stream that flows down the mountain.

[9:17]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text includes “from upon my two hands,” but as this seems somewhat obvious and redundant, it has been left untranslated for stylistic reasons.

[9:21]  ² tn Heb “your sin.” This is a metonymy in which the effect (sin) stands for the cause (the metal calf).

[9:21]  ³ tn Heb “burned it with fire.”
