⁹ When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant^(A) that the Lord had made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days^(B) and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water.^{(C) 10} The Lord gave me two stone tablets inscribed by the finger of God.^(D) On them were all the commandments the Lord proclaimed to you on the mountain out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.^(E)

¹¹ At the end of the forty days and forty nights,^(F) the Lord gave me the two stone tablets,^(G) the tablets of the covenant. ¹² Then the Lord told me, “Go down from here at once, because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have become corrupt.^(H) They have turned away quickly^(I) from what I commanded them and have made an idol for themselves.”
