Exodus 32:22-24

22And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord burn: thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil. 23For they said to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 24And I said to them, Whoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it to me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
