It is a well known Rashi that there wer 3 ascents of
Moses on the mount, for 40 days each, resulting in forgiveness
on the Day of Atonement. This is literally a spreadsheet
listing a chronology. It is presented below with the source
verses and the events that happened.

There are variety of nuances in the table. For example
- Final forgiveness (2nd tablets) happened on 10 Tishray, Yom Kippur.
- The first tablets were broken on 17 Tamuz, a national fast day.
- There are 0 or 1 day lapses e.g between 17 Tamuz and 19 Tamuz or between revelation, 6 Sivan,
and ascent to the mountain, 7 Sivan. These are indicated in the Biblical text by such phrases as
and on the morrow...
Rashi translates Ex34-29a as follows:
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of Testimony in Moses’ hand,[ that is, the day after Yom
Kippur, after the 2nd receipt of the ten commandments, which happened after the first tablets were broken and Moses obtained forgiveness
for the sin of the Golden Calf] when he came down from the mount,Moses knew not that his facial skin beamed after God prophesied
to Moses.
