Acts 7:38-40

38This is the one who was in 1the 2assembly in the wilderness together with 3the angel who spoke to him at length on Mount Sinai, and who was with our fathers; and he received 4living 5words to pass on to you.

39Our fathers were unwilling to be obedient to him; on the contrary they 6rejected him and turned back to Egypt in their hearts,

40 7saying to Aaron, ‘Make us 8a god who will go before us; for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt--we do not know what happened to him.’
