were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the
other were they written. And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was
the writing of God, graven upon the tables. And it came to pass, as soon as he came
nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and
he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
