 Moses burned the calf, ground it into dust, and threw its dust into the brook that came down from the mountain.In the continuation of the reading, Moses reminded the Israelites how they provoked God at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.And when God sent them from Kadesh-barnea to take possession of the land, they flouted God's command and did not put their trust in God.
