    a calf out of molten metal
and proclaimed: ‘Here is your God
who brought you up from Egypt,’
and were guilty of gross blasphemies,

    to lead them on their journey by night,
nor did the pillar of fire fail by night
    to light the way ahead of them

    to give them understanding.
Your manna you did not withhold from their mouths,
    and you gave them water in their thirst.
