Deuteronomy 9:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ Remember, do not forget how you provoked the Lord your God to anger in the wilderness; ^(A)from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the Lord. ⁸ Even ^(B)at Horeb you provoked the Lord to anger, and the Lord was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you. ⁹ When I went up to the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I remained on the mountain for forty days and nights; ^(C)I neither ate bread nor drank water.
