Exodus 32:2-8
2So AaronH175 toldH559 themH413, “Take offH6561 the goldH2091 earringsH5141 thatH834 are onH241 your wivesH802 and sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, and bring themH935 to meH413.”
3Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 took offH6561 their goldH2091 earringsH5141 and brought themH935 toH413 AaronH175. 4He tookH3947 the gold from their handsH3027, andH6696 with an engraving toolH2747 he fashionedH6213 itH853 into a moltenH4541 calfH5695. And they saidH559, “TheseH428, O IsraelH3478, are your godsH430, whoH834 brought you upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714!”
5When AaronH175 saw thisH7200, he builtH1129 an altarH4196 beforeH6440 the calf and proclaimedH7121H175H559: “TomorrowH4279 shall be a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068.”
6So the next dayH4283 they aroseH7925, offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and presentedH5066 peace offeringsH8002. And the peopleH5971 sat downH3427 to eatH398 and drinkH8354 and got upH6965 to indulge in revelryH6711.1
7Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872, “Go down at onceH1980H3381, forH3588 your peopleH5971, whomH834 you brought upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, have corrupted themselvesH7843. 8How quickly they haveH4118 turned asideH5493 fromH4480 the wayH1870 thatH834 I commanded themH6680! They have madeH6213 for themselves a moltenH4541 calfH5695 and have bowed downH7812 to it. They have sacrificedH2076 to it and saidH559, ‘TheseH428, O IsraelH3478, are your godsH430, whoH834 brought you upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.’”
