Deuteronomy 9:20

The Golden Calf

19For I was afraid of the anger and wrath that the LORD had directed against you, enough to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me this time as well.20The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I also prayed for Aaron.21And I took that sinful thing, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust, and I cast it into the stream that came down from the mountain.
