Exodus 32:2-7

2Aaron replied to them, “Take off the gold rings that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters and bring them to me.”

3So all the people took off the gold rings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.

4He took the gold from them, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it into an image of a calf. Then they said, “Israel, these are your gods, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!”

5When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of it and made an announcement: “There will be a festival to the Lord tomorrow.”

6Early the next morning they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented fellowship offerings. The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to party.

7The Lord spoke to Moses: “Go down at once! For your people you brought up from the land of Egypt have acted corruptly.
