Devarim 9:19-21

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁹ For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Hashem was angry against you to destroy you. But Hashem listened unto me at that time also.

²⁰ And Hashem was very angry with Aharon to have made him shmad; and I davened on behalf of Aharon also at that time.

²¹ And I took your sin, the egel which ye had made, and burned it with eish, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
