Exodus 32:1-14

1And when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 that MosesH4872 delayedH954 to come downH3381 out of the mountH2022, the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH6950 unto AaronH175, and saidH559 unto him, UpH6965, makeH6213 us godsH430, which shall goH3212 beforeH6440 us; for as for this MosesH4872, the manH376 that broughtH5927 us up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, we wotH3045 not what is become of him. 2And AaronH175 saidH559 unto them, Break offH6561 the goldenH2091 earringsH5141, which are in the earsH241 of your wivesH802, of your sonsH1121, and of your daughtersH1323, and bringH935 them unto me. 3And all the peopleH5971 brake offH6561 the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 which were in their earsH241, and broughtH935 them unto AaronH175. 4And he receivedH3947 them at their handH3027, and fashionedH6696 it with a graving toolH2747, after he had madeH6213 it a moltenH4541 calfH5695: and they saidH559, These be thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which broughtH5927 thee up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 5And when AaronH175 sawH7200 it, he builtH1129 an altarH4196 beforeH6440 it; and AaronH175 made proclamationH7121, and saidH559, To morrowH4279 is a feastH2282 to YhwhH3068. 6And they rose up earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and broughtH5066 peace offeringsH8002; and the peopleH5971 satH3427 down to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and rose upH6965 to playH6711.

7And YhwhH3068 saidH1696 unto MosesH4872, GoH3212, get thee downH3381; for thy peopleH5971, which thou broughtestH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, have corruptedH7843 themselves: 8They have turnedH5493 aside quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 which I commandedH6680 them: they have madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and have worshippedH7812 it, and have sacrificedH2076 thereunto, and saidH559, These be thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which have brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 9And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I have seenH7200 this peopleH5971, and, behold, it is a stiffneckedH6203H7186 peopleH5971: 10Now therefore let me aloneH3240, that my wrathH639 may wax hotH2734 against them, and that I may consumeH3615 them: and I will makeH6213 of thee a greatH1419 nationH1471. 11And MosesH4872 besoughtH6440H2470 YhwhH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, YhwhH3068, why doth thy wrathH639 wax hotH2734 against thy peopleH5971, which thou hast brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581, and with a mightyH2389 handH3027?1 12Wherefore should the EgyptiansH4714 speakH559, and sayH559, For mischiefH7451 did he bringH3318 them out, to slayH2026 them in the mountainsH2022, and to consumeH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127? TurnH7725 from thy fierceH2740 wrathH639, and repentH5162 of this evilH7451 against thy peopleH5971. 13RememberH2142 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, thy servantsH5650, to whom thou swarestH7650 by thine own self, and saidstH1696 unto them, I will multiplyH7235 your seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and all this landH776 that I have spokenH559 of will I giveH5414 unto your seedH2233, and they shall inheritH5157 it for everH5769. 14And YhwhH3068 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451 which he thoughtH1696 to doH6213 unto his peopleH5971.
