Verse in context — Exodus 32
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.
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it] in the fire, and ground [it] to powder, and strawed [it] upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink [of it].
