Exodus 33:1-6

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which 1I swore to Abraham, 2Isaac, and 3Jacob, saying, ‘4To your 5descendants I will give it.’ 2And I will send 6an angel before you and 7I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 3Go up to a land 8flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are 910an obstinate people, and 11I might destroy you on the way.”

4When the people heard this 12sad word, 13they went into mourning, and none of them put on his jewelry. 5For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You are 1415an obstinate people; if I 16were to go up in your midst for just one moment, I would destroy you. So now, take off your 17jewelry that I may know what I shall do to you.’” 6So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry, from Mount Horeb onward.
