Exodus 32:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ When Joshua heard the noise below them, of all the people shouting, he exclaimed to Moses, “It sounds as if they are preparing for war!”

¹⁸ But Moses replied, “No, it’s not a cry of victory or defeat, but singing.”

¹⁹ When they came near the camp, Moses saw the calf and the dancing, and in terrible anger he threw the tablets to the ground, and they lay broken at the foot of the mountain.
