Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Children of Israel worshipped the CalfAllah then said, "Remember My favor on you when I forgave you for worshipping the calf." This happened after Musa went to the meeting place with his Lord at the end of that period which was forty days. These forty days were mentioned in Surat Al-A`raf, when Allah said, وَوَعَدْنَا مُوسَى ثَلَـثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ(And We appointed for Musa thirty nights and added (to the period) ten (more)) (7:142).
