Exodus 32:19

32:19 When he approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses became extremely angry. ¹  He threw the tablets from his hands and broke them to pieces at the bottom of the mountain. ² 

Deuteronomy 9:15-17

9:15 So I turned and went down the mountain while it ³  was blazing with fire; the two tablets of the covenant were in my hands. 9:16 When I looked, you had indeed sinned against the Lord your God and had cast for yourselves a metal calf; ⁴  you had quickly turned aside from the way he ⁵  had commanded you! 9:17 I grabbed the two tablets, threw them down, ⁶  and shattered them before your very eyes.

[32:19]  ¹ tn Heb “and the anger of Moses burned hot.”

[32:19]  ² sn See N. M. Waldham, “The Breaking of the Tablets,” Judaism 27 (1978): 442-47.

[9:15]  ³ tn Heb “the mountain.” The translation uses a pronoun for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[9:16]  ⁴ tn On the phrase “metal calf,” see note on the term “metal image” in v. 12.

[9:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[9:17]  ⁶ 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.
