Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Exodus 32:19

_ _ Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands — The arrival of the leader, like the appearance of a specter, arrested the revellers in the midst of their carnival, and his act of righteous indignation when he dashed on the ground the tables of the law, in token that as they had so soon departed from their covenant relation, so God could withdraw the peculiar privileges that He had promised them — that act, together with the rigorous measures that followed, forms one of the most striking scenes recorded in sacred history.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Exodus 32:15-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Exodus 32:19

He saw the calf, and the dancing, and his anger waxed hot — It is no breach of the law of meekness to shew our displeasure at wickedness. Those are angry and sin not, that are angry at sin only. Moses shewed himself angry, both by breaking the tables, and burning the calf, that he might by these expressions of a strong passion awaken the people to a sense of the greatness of their sin. He broke the tables before their eyes, as it is Deuteronomy 9:17, that the sight of it might fill them with confusion when they saw what blessings they had lost. The greatest sign of God's displeasure against any people is his taking his law from them.
