¹⁵ Moses went back down the mountain with the two flat stones on which God had written all of his laws with his own hand, and he had used both sides of the stones. ¹⁶ (SEE 32:15) ¹⁷ When Joshua heard the noisy shouts of the people, he said to Moses, "A battle must be going on down in the camp." ¹⁸ But Moses replied, "It doesn't sound like they are shouting because they have won or lost a battle. They are singing wildly!" ¹⁹ As Moses got closer to the camp, he saw the idol, and he also saw the people dancing around. This made him so angry that he threw down the stones and broke them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. ²⁰ He melted the idol the people had made, and he ground it into powder. He scattered it in their water and made them drink it.
