“And יהוה was very enraged with Aharon, to destroy him, so I prayed for Aharon at that time also.
And יהוה plagued the people because they made the calf, which Aharon made.
And Mosheh said to Aharon, “What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?”
“For I was afraid of the displeasure and rage with which יהוה was wroth with you, to destroy you. But יהוה listened to me that time once more.
“And I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it and ground it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I threw its dust into the stream that came down from the mountain.
