Exodus 32:18 Context
16And the Tables were the worke of God; and the writing was the writing of God, grauen vpon the Tables. 17And when Ioshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, hee said vnto Moses, There is a noise of warre in the campe. 18And he said, It is not the voyce of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voyce of them that cry for being ouercome: but the noyse of them that sing doe I heare. 19¶ And it came to passe, assoone as he came nigh vnto the campe, that he saw the Calfe, and the dancing: and Moses anger waxed hot, and he cast the Tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 20And he tooke the Calfe which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it vpon the water, and made the children of Israel drinke of it.
