Deu 9:17 — And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

cast them		Moses might have done this through distress and anguish of spirit, on beholding their abominable idolatry and dissolute conduct; or probably he did it emblematically, and perhaps by the direction of God; intimating thereby, that as by this act of his the tables were broken in pieces, on which the Law of God was written, so they, by their present conduct, had made a breach in the covenant, and broken the laws of their Maker and Sovereign.
