Exodus 32:1-14

1Now when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 that MosesH4872 1delayedH954 to comeH3381 downH3381 from the mountainH2022, the peopleH5971 assembledH6950 aroundH5921 AaronH175 and saidH559 to him, “ComeH6965, 2makeH6213 us 3a godH430 whoH834 will goH1980 beforeH6440 us; for 4thisH2088 MosesH4872, the manH376 whoH834 broughtH5927 us upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714--we do not knowH3045 whatH4100 happenedH1961 to him.” 2AaronH175 saidH559 to them, “5TearH6561 offH6561 the goldH2091 ringsH5141 whichH834 are in the earsH241 of your wivesH802, your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, and bringH935 them to me.” 3So allH3605 the peopleH5971 toreH6561 offH6561 the goldH2091 ringsH5141 whichH834 were in their earsH241 and broughtH935 them to AaronH175. 4Then he tookH3947 the gold from their 6handsH3027, and fashionedH6696 it with an engravingH2747 toolH2747 and madeH6213 it into a 7castH4541 metalH4541 calfH5695; and they saidH559, “8ThisH428 is your godH430, IsraelH3478, whoH834 broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 5Now when AaronH175 sawH7200 this, he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in frontH6440 of it; and AaronH175 madeH7121 aH7121 proclamationH7121 and saidH559, “TomorrowH4279 shall be a feastH2282 to the LordH3068.” 6So the nextH4283 dayH4283 they gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 and 9offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930, and broughtH5066 peaceH8002 offeringsH8002; and 10the peopleH5971 satH3427 downH3427 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and gotH6965 upH6965 11to engageH6711 inH6711 lewdH6711 behaviorH6711.

7Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, “GoH1980 12downH3381 at onceH3381, for your peopleH5971, whomH834 13you broughtH5927 upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, have 14behavedH7843 corruptlyH7843. 8They have quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandedH6680 them. 15They have madeH6213 for themselves a castH4541 metalH4541 calfH5695, and have worshipedH2331 it and 16have sacrificedH2076 to it and saidH559, ‘1718ThisH428 is your godH430, IsraelH3478, whoH834 broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714!’” 919Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “I have seenH7200 thisH2088 peopleH5971, and beholdH2009, they are 2021an obstinateH7186H6203 peopleH5971. 10So nowH6258 22leaveH5117 Me aloneH5117, that My angerH639 may burnH2734 against them and that I may destroyH3615 them; and 23I will makeH6213 of you a greatH1419 nationH1471.”

11Then 24MosesH4872 pleadedH2470 with the LordH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, “LordH3068, whyH4100 does Your angerH639 burnH2734 against Your peopleH5971 whomH834 You have broughtH3318 outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581 and with a mightyH2389 handH3027? 12WhyH4100 should 25the EgyptiansH4714 talkH559, sayingH559, ‘With evilH7463 motives He broughtH3318 them outH3318, to killH2026 them on the mountainsH2022 and to destroyH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127’? TurnH7725 from Your burningH2740 angerH639 and relentH5162 of doing harmH7463 to Your peopleH5971. 13RememberH2142 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, Your servantsH5650 to whomH834 You 26sworeH7650 by Yourself, and saidH1696 to them, ‘I will 27multiplyH7235 your 28descendantsH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavensH8064, and 29allH3605 thisH2088 landH776 of whichH834 I have spokenH559 I will giveH5414 to your 30descendantsH2233, and they shall inheritH5157 it foreverH5769.’” 1431So the LordH3068 relentedH5162 of the harmH7463 whichH834 He saidH1696 He would doH6213 to His peopleH5971.
