¹⁵ Then Moses came down the mountain with the two stones of the law in his hand; the stones had writing on their two sides, on the front and on the back. ¹⁶ The stones were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, cut on the stones. ¹⁷ Now when the noise and the voices of the people came to the ears of Joshua, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the tents. ¹⁸ And Moses said, It is not the voice of men who are overcoming in the fight, or the cry of those who have been overcome; it is the sound of songs which comes to my ear. ¹⁹ And when he came near the tents he saw the image of the ox, and the people dancing; and in his wrath Moses let the stones go from his hands, and they were broken at the foot of the mountain. ²⁰ And he took the ox which they had made, burning it in the fire and crushing it to powder, and he put it in the water and made the children of Israel take a drink of it.
