Exodus 32:19-35

19And it cameH1961 aboutH1961, asH3512 soonH3512 asH3512 1Moses approachedH7126 the campH4264, that 2he sawH7200 the calfH5695 and the people dancingH4246; and Moses’H4872 angerH639 burnedH2734, and 3he threwH7993 the tabletsH3871 from his handsH3027 and shatteredH7665 them toH7665 piecesH7665 4atH8478 theH8478 footH8478 ofH8478 the mountainH2022. 20Then 5he tookH3947 the calfH5695 whichH834 they had madeH6213 and completelyH8313 burnedH8313 it with fireH784, and groundH2912 it to powderH834H1854, and scatteredH2219 it overH5921 the surfaceH6440 of the waterH4325 and madeH8248 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 drinkH8248 it.

21Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to AaronH175, “WhatH4100 did thisH2088 peopleH5971 doH6213 to you, that you have broughtH935 such a greatH1419 sinH2401 upon them?” 22And AaronH175 saidH559, “Do not let the angerH639 of my lordH113 burnH2734; you knowH3045 the peopleH5971 yourselfH859, 6that they are 7prone to evilH7451. 23For 8they saidH559 to me, ‘MakeH6213 9a godH430 for us whoH834 will goH1980 beforeH6440 us; for thisH2088 MosesH4872, the manH376 whoH834 broughtH5927 us upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714--we do not knowH3045 whatH4100 happenedH1961 to him.’ 24So I saidH559 to them, ‘WhoeverH4310 has any goldH2091, let them tearH6561 it offH6561.’ Then they gaveH5414 it to me, and 10I threwH7993 it into the fireH784, and outH3318 cameH3318 thisH2088 calfH5695.”

25Now when MosesH4872 sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 wereH6544 11outH6544 ofH6544 controlH6544--for AaronH175 had 12let them 13getH6544 outH6544 ofH6544 controlH6544 to the point of being an objectH8103 ofH8103 ridiculeH8103 among 14their enemiesH6965-- 26MosesH4872 then stoodH5975 at the gateH8179 of the campH4264, and saidH559, “WhoeverH4310 is for the LordH3068, come to me!” And allH3605 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 gatheredH622 together to him. 27And he saidH559 to them, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH1696: ‘EveryH376 manH376 of you putH7760 his swordH2719 on his thighH3409, and goH5674H7725 backH7725 and forthH5674 from gateH8179 to gateH8179 in the campH4264, and killH2026 everyH376 manH376 his brotherH251, and everyH376 manH376 his friendH7453, and everyH376 manH376 his 15neighborH7453.’” 28So 16the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 didH6213 17as MosesH4872 instructedH1697, and about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 of the peopleH5971 fellH5307 that dayH3117. 29Then MosesH4872 saidH559, “18DedicateH4390 yourselvesH3027 todayH3117 to the LordH3068--for everyH376 manH376 has been against his sonH1121 and against his brotherH251--in order that He may bestowH5414 a blessingH1293 upon you todayH3117.”

30And on the nextH4283 dayH4283 MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “19You yourselvesH864 have 20committedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401; and nowH6258 I am goingH5927 upH5927 to the LordH3068; perhapsH194 I can 21makeH3722 atonementH3722 for your sinH2403.” 31Then MosesH4872 returnedH7725 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “OhH577, thisH2088 peopleH5971 has 22committedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401, and they have madeH6213 a 23godH430 of goldH2091 for themselves! 32But nowH6258, ifH518 You will forgiveH5375 their sinH2403, very well; but ifH518 not, pleaseH4994 wipeH4229 me outH4229 from Your 24bookH5612 whichH834 You have writtenH3789!” 33However, the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “WhoeverH4310H834 has sinnedH2398 against Me, 25I will wipeH4229 him outH4229 of My bookH5612. 34But goH1980 nowH6258, leadH5148 the peopleH5971 26whereH413H834 I toldH1696 you. BeholdH2009, 27My angelH4397 shall goH1980 beforeH6440 you; nevertheless 28on the dayH3117 when I 29punishH6485, 30I will 31punishH6485 them for their sinH2403.” 3532Then the LordH3068 struckH5062 the peopleH5971 with a plague, becauseH5921H834 of 33whatH834 they didH6213 with the calfH5695 whichH834 AaronH175 had madeH6213.
