Verse 21
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made ,.... Which was the object of their sin, which lay in making and worshipping it; see Isaiah 31:7 .
and burnt it with fire, and stamped it ; with his feet after it was burnt, to bring it into small pieces:
and ground it very small ; or, as the Targum of Jonathan,"ground it in a mortar well;'the burnt and broken pieces:
even until it was as small as dust ; being ground to powder, as in Exodus 32:20 .
and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount ; and made the children of Israel to drink of it, as in the previously mentioned place; See Gill on Exodus 32:2 ; all this was done before the prayer for Aaron and the people.
