“You have circled around this mountain long enough; now turn north.

However, you did not approach the land of the Ammonites, the Wadi Jabbok,<n id="1" /> the cities of the hill country, or any place else forbidden by the <sc>Lordsc> our God.p>

Let me please cross over to see the good land on the other side of the Jordan River &#8211; this good hill country and the Lebanon!&#8221;<n id="1" />

You approached and stood at the foot of the mountain, a mountain ablaze to the sky above it<n id="1" /> and yet dark with a thick cloud.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">So I turned and went down the mountain while it<n id="1" /> was blazing with fire; the two tablets of the covenant were in my hands.

Then I turned, went down the mountain, and placed the tablets into the ark I had made &#8211; they are still there, just as the <sc>Lordsc> commanded me.p>

You will die<n id="1" /> on the mountain that you ascend and join your deceased ancestors,<n id="2" /> just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor<n id="3" /> and joined his deceased ancestors,

As for your sinful thing<n id="1" /> that you had made, the calf, I took it, melted it down,<n id="2" /> ground it up until it was as fine as dust, and tossed the dust into the stream that flows down the mountain.
