EXODUS 32

\n

The Golden Calf

\n

1When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, \u201cCome, make us gods\xa0who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don\u2019t know what has happened to him.\u201d 2 Aaron answered them, \u201cTake off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.\u201d\xa03 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron.\xa04 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, \u201cThese are your gods,\xa0Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.\u201d

\n

5When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, \u201cTomorrow there will be a festival to the\xa0Lord.\u201d\xa06 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry. 7 Then the\xa0Lord\xa0said to Moses, \u201cGo down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt.\xa08 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, \u2018These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.\u2019 9 \u201cI have seen these people,\u201d the\xa0Lord\xa0said to Moses, \u201cand they are a stiff-necked people.\xa010 Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.\u201d
