The story: When Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people said to Aaron, "Up, make us gods," and Aaron made a molten calf, and they worshipped it. Moses besought the LORD for them, and "the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people." But when Moses came nigh unto the camp and saw the calf, his "anger waxed hot," and he cast the tables out of his hands and brake them beneath the mount.
