Deuteronomy 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 9:11

And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights,
&c.] The time of Moses's stay in the mount, when it was just up, and not before: that

the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, [even] the tables of the
covenant,
as in ( Deuteronomy 9:9 ) . Aben Ezra observes, that this shows that the day the tables were given to Moses the calf was made.

Deuteronomy 9:11 In-Context

9 When I went up the mountain to receive the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant that the Lord made with you, I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.
10 And the Lord gave me the two stone tablets written with the finger of God; on them were all the words that the Lord had spoken to you at the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly.
11 At the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
12 Then the Lord said to me, "Get up, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have been quick to turn from the way that I commanded them; they have cast an image for themselves."
13 Furthermore the Lord said to me, "I have seen that this people is indeed a stubborn people.
