Exodus
32:11-24.
11 Moses begged YHWH his ELOHIM, and
said, “YHWH, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have
brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, ‘He
brought them forth for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them
from the surface of the earth?’ Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this
evil against your people.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your
servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will
multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have
spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
14 YHWH repented of the evil which he said he
would do to his people.
15 Moses turned, and went down from the
mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were
written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were
written.
16 The tablets were the work of ELOHIM, and the
writing was the writing of ELOHIM, engraved on the tables.
17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as
they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”
18 He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who
shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome;
but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”
19 It happened, as soon as he came near to the
camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses’ anger grew hot, and he
threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
20 He took the calf which they had made, and
burnt it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made
the children of Israel drink of it.
21 Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people
do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”
22 Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my
master grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
23 For they said to me, ‘Make us idol_gods,
which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out
of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
24 I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let
them take it off:’ so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out
came this calf.”

34:1-10.
1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Moses Makes New Tablets. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
YHWH said to Moses, “Chisel two
stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets the words that
were on the first tablets, which you broke.
2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the
morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the
mountain.
3 No one shall come up with you; neither let
anyone be seen throughout all the mountain; neither let the flocks nor herds
feed before that mountain.”
4 He chiseled two tablets of stone like the
first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as
YHWH had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.
5 YHWH descended in the cloud, and stood with
him there, and proclaimed the name of YHWH!
6 YHWH passed by before him, and proclaimed,
“YHWH! YHWH, a merciful and gracious ELOHIM, slow to anger, and abundant in
loving kindness and truth,
7 keeping loving kindness for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear
the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the
children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”
8 Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the
earth, and worshiped.
9 He said, “If now I have found favor in your
sight, ADONAI, please let ADONAI go in the midst of us; although this is a
stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your
inheritance.”
10 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Covenant Renewed. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
He said, “Behold, I make a
covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been
worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you
are shall see the work of YHWH; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.

Tenth of Tevet (Hebrew: עשרה בטבת, Asarah BeTevet), the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tevet, is a minor fast day in Judaism. It is a "low fast" observed from sunrise to sunset. The day has no relationship to Hanukkah, but it happens to follow that festival by a week. Whether the 10th of Tevet falls 7 or 8 days after Hanukkah depends on whether the preceding month of Kislev has 29 or 30 days in the relevant year.
