Shortly after the giving of the Ten Commandments, the incident of the [[Golden Calf]] occurred while Moses was up on Mount Sinai with God. God told Moses what was happening below and that He would destroy the people and start a new line of people through Moses, but Moses begged Him not to. Moses came down and smashed the tablets. He called all of those who were with the Lord to come to him, then had the [[Levites]] kill those who continued to worship the calf and would not follow God (3000 in number). Moses went up Mount Sinai again and received another set of the Ten Commandments to give to the people. As the Israelites reached the promised land and spied it out, they were afraid and made the excuse they feared for their children. For this reason God told them they would wander for 40 years until all of them were dead, and it would be their children who would enter the promised land. Even Moses himself was not allowed to enter the promised land for not obeying God's instructions and striking a rock with his staff in anger. He was allowed to see it however, and died and was buried at 120 years of age.
