Moshe receives the Luchot with the Ten Commandments. The mixed multitude that left Egypt with Bnai Yisrael panic when Moshe's descent seems to be delayed, forcing Ahron to make them a golden calf to worship. G-d threatens to destroy everyone & build a new nation from Moshe. Moshe smashes the tablets & destroys the golden calf. The tribe of Levi executes 3,000 men.
Moshe prays for forgiveness for the people using the "13 Attributes of Hashem;" Hashem accepts his prayer. Hashem tells Moshe to hew new tablets.
Idol worship, intermarriage, & the combination of milk & meat are prohibited. Laws of the first-born, firstfruits, Shabbat & Shalosh Regalim are taught.
Moshe descends with the second set of tablets; his face glows due to contact with the Divine & he covers it with a mask.
