“So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.”
So I turned and went down from the mountain while it was ablaze with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my hands — the descent in haste, the tablets in hand: Moses carries the written covenant down even as the people break its substance. The mountain's fire imagery echoes divine presence and wrath.
