4When the people heard these bad tidings, they went into mourning, and no one put on any of his jewelry.
5For the LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I should go with you for a single moment, I would destroy you. Now take off your jewelry, and I will decide what to do with you.’”
6So the Israelites stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
