The Gold Calf
1 Now when the people saw that Moses Ex. 24:18; Deut. 9:9–12delayed coming down from the mountain, the people Ex. 17:1–3gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, Acts 7:40"Come, make us gods that shall Ex. 13:21go before us; for asfor this Moses, the man who Ex. 32:8brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."
4 Ex. 20:3, 4, 23; Deut. 9:16; Judg. 17:3, 4; 1 Kin. 12:28; Neh. 9:18; Ps. 106:19; Acts 7:41And he received thegold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf.
Then they said, "This is your god, O Israel, that Ex. 29:45, 46brought you out of the land of Egypt!"
7 And the Lord said to Moses, Deut. 9:8–21; Dan. 9:14"Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt Gen. 6:11, 12have corrupted themselves.8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which Ex. 20:3, 4, 23; Deut. 32:17I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, 1 Kin. 12:28‘This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!’ "
