18. And I fell prostrate before the Lord, just as before, for forty days and nights, not eating bread, and not drinking water, because of all your sins, which you had committed against the Lord, and because you provoked him to anger.
19. For I feared his indignation and wrath, which had been stirred up against you, so that he was willing to destroy you. And the Lord heeded me at this time also.
20. Likewise, he became vehemently angry against Aaron, and he was willing to destroy him, and I prayed for him similarly.
21. But as for your sin which you committed, that is, the calf, taking hold of it, I burned it with fire. And breaking it into pieces, and reducing it entirely to dust, I threw it into the torrent that descends from the mountain.
22. Likewise, at the Burning, and at the Temptation, and at the Graves of Lust, you provoked the Lord.
