Exodus 32:18-35

18And he saidH559, It is not the voiceH6963 of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voiceH6963 of them that cry for being overcome; but the noise of them that singH6030 do I hearH8085. 19And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the campH4264, that he sawH7200 the calfH5695 and the dancingH4246: and Moses’H4872 angerH639 waxed hot, and he castH7993 the tables out of his handsH3027, and brake them beneath the mount. 20And he tookH3947 the calfH5695 which they had madeH6213, and burnt it with fireH784, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the waterH4325, and madeH6213 the children of IsraelH3478 drinkH8248 of it.

21And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, What did this peopleH5971 unto thee, that thou hast broughtH935 a greatH1419 sinH2401 upon them? 22And AaronH175 saidH559, Let not the angerH639 of my lordH113 wax hot: thou knowest the peopleH5971, that they are set on evilH7451. 23For they saidH559 unto me, MakeH6213 us godsH430, which shall goH5927 before us; for as for this MosesH4872, the manH376 that broughtH5927 us up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, we knowH3045 not what is becomeH1961 of him. 24And I saidH559 unto them, Whosoever hath any goldH2091, let them break it off: so they gaveH5414 it me; and I castH7993 it into the fireH784, and there cameH3318 out this calfH5695.

25And when MosesH4872 sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were broken loose, (for AaronH175 had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,) 26then MosesH4872 stoodH5975 in the gateH8179 of the campH4264, and saidH559, Whoso is on Jehovah’s side, let him come unto me. And all the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 gatheredH622 themselves together unto him. 27And he saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, PutH7760 ye every manH376 his swordH2719 upon his thighH3409, and goH7725 to and fro from gateH8179 to gateH8179 throughout the campH4264, and slayH2026 every manH376 his brotherH251, and every manH376 his companionH7453, and every manH376 his neighborH7453. 28And the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 did according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872: and there fellH5307 of the peopleH5971 that dayH3117 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376. 29And MosesH4872 saidH559, Consecrate yourselves to-day to Jehovah, yea, every manH376 against his sonH1121, and against his brotherH251; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this dayH3117.

30And it came to pass on the morrow, that MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2398: and nowH6258 I will goH5927 up unto Jehovah; peradventure I shall make atonementH3722 for your sinH2398. 31And MosesH4872 returnedH7725 unto Jehovah, and saidH559, Oh, this peopleH5971 have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2398, and have madeH6213 them godsH430 of goldH2091. 32Yet nowH6258, if thou wilt forgiveH5375 their sinH2403—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy bookH5612 which thou hast writtenH3789. 33And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Whosoever hath sinnedH2398 against me, him will I blot out of my bookH5612. 34And nowH6258 go, leadH5148 the peopleH5971 unto the place of which I have spokenH1696 unto thee: behold, mine angelH4397 shall go before thee; nevertheless in the dayH3117 when I visitH6485, I will visitH6485 their sinH2403 upon them. 35And Jehovah smote the peopleH5971, because they madeH6213 the calfH5695, which AaronH175 madeH6213.
