Verse in context — Exodus 32
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony [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 when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp.
And he said, [It is] not the voice of [them that] shout for mastery, neither [is it] the voice of [them that] cry for being overcome: [but] the noise of [them that] sing do I hear.
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.
