32:15 Moses turned and went down from the mountain with 1 the two tablets of the testimony in his hands. The tablets were written on both sides – they were written on the front and on the back. 32:16 Now the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
32:19 When he approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses became extremely angry. 2 He threw the tablets from his hands and broke them to pieces at the bottom of the mountain. 3
