Contextual Overview
7 Remember - do not forget, how thou didst provoke Yahweh thy God, in the desert, - yea from the day when thou earnest forth out of the and of Egypt until ye entered as far as this place, have ye been quarrelling, with Yahweh. 8 Even in Horeb, ye provoked Yahweh to wrath, - so that Yahweh showed himself angry with you to destroy you. 9 When I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone - the tables of the covenant, which Yahweh had solemnised with you, then abode I in the mountain forty days and forty nights, food, did I not, eat, and water, did I not drink. 10 Then did Yahweh deliver unto me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, - and there was upon them, according to all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation. 11 So then it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave unto me the two tables of stone the tables of the covenant. 12 Then said Yahweh unto me - Up! get down quickly out of this mountain, for thy people whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have broken faith, - they have turned aside quickly, out of the way which I commanded them, - they have made them a molten image. 13 And Yahweh spake unto me saying, - I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is. 14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and wipe out their name from under the heavens, - and make thee into a nation stronger and more in number than they. 15 So I turned, and came down out of the mountain, now the mountain was burning with fire, - and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands. 16 Then looked I, and lo! ye had sinned against Yahweh your God, ye had made you a molten calf, - ye had turned aside quickly, out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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; Exodus 32:20- :; all this was done before the prayer for Aaron and the people.
