Read in context

Deuteronomy 9:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 And at the end of forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.

12 And the LORD said to me, “Get up and go down from here at once, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten image.”

13 The LORD also said to me, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.

14 Leave Me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. Then I will make you into a nation mightier and greater than they are.”

15 So I went back down the mountain while it was blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands.
