And when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 that MosesH4872 delayedH954 to comeH3381 downH3381 out of the mount,H2022 the peopleH5971 gatheredH6950 themselves together to Aaron,H175 and saidH559 to him, Up, makeH6213 us gods,H430 whichH834 shall goH3212 beforeH6440 us; for as for thisH2088 Moses,H4872 the manH376 that broughtH5927 us up out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 we knowH3045 not whatH4100 is becomeH1961 of him.
2
And AaronH175 saidH559 to them, BreakH6561 off the goldenH2091 earrings,H5141 whichH834 are in the earsH241 of your wives,H802 of your sons,H1121 and of your daughters,H1323 and bringH935 them to me.
3
And allH3605 the peopleH5971 brokeH6561 off the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 whichH834 were in their ears,H241 and broughtH935 them to Aaron.H175
4
And he receivedH3947 them at their hand,H3027 and fashionedH3335 it with a engravingH2747 tool, after he had madeH6213 it a moltenH4541 calf:H5695 and they said,H559 TheseH428 be your gods,H430 O Israel,H3478 whichH834 broughtH5927 you up out of the landH776 of Egypt.H4714
5
And when AaronH175 sawH7200 it, he builtH1129 an altarH4196 beforeH6440 it; and AaronH175 made proclamation,H7121 and said,H559 To morrowH4279 is a feastH2282 to the LORD.H3068
6
And they roseH7925 up earlyH7925 on the morrow,H4283 and offeredH5927 burntH5930 offerings, and broughtH5066 peaceH8002 offerings; and the peopleH5971 satH3427 down to eatH398 and to drink,H8354 and roseH6965 up to play.H6711
7
And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 to Moses,H4872 Go,H3212 getH3381 you down;H3381 for your people,H5971 whichH834 you broughtH5927 out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 have corruptedH7843 themselves:
8
They have turnedH5493 aside quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandedH6680 them: they have madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calf,H5695 and have worshippedH7812 it, and have sacrificedH2076 thereunto, and said,H559 TheseH428 be your gods,H430 O Israel,H3478 whichH834 have broughtH5927 you up out of the landH776 of Egypt.H4714
9
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Moses,H4872 I have seenH7200 thisH2088 people,H5971 and, behold,H2009 it is a stiff neckedH7186 H6203 people:H5971
10
NowH6258 therefore let me alone, that my wrathH639 may wax hotH2734 against them, and that I may consumeH3615 them: and I will makeH6213 of you a greatH1419 nation.H1471
11
And MosesH4872 soughtH2470 the LORDH3068 his God,H430 and said,H559 LORD,H3068 whyH4100 does your wrathH639 wax hotH2734 against your people,H5971 whichH834 you have broughtH3318 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 power,H3581 and with a mightyH2389 hand?H3027
12
WhyH4100 should the EgyptiansH4714 speak,H559 and say,H559 For mischiefH7451 did he bringH3318 them out, to slayH2026 them in the mountains,H2022 and to consumeH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earth?H127 TurnH7725 from your fierceH2740 wrath,H639 and repentH5162 of this evilH7451 against your people.H5971
13
RememberH2142 Abraham,H85 Isaac,H3327 and Israel,H3478 your servants,H5650 to whomH834 you sworeH7650 by your own self, and saidH1696 to them, I will multiplyH7235 your seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of heaven,H8064 and allH3605 thisH2063 landH776 that I have spokenH559 of will I giveH5414 to your seed,H2233 and they shall inheritH5157 it for ever.H5769
14
And the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451 whichH834 he thoughtH1696 to doH6213 to his people.H5971
15
And Moses turned,H6437 and wentH3381 downH3381 from the mount,H2022 and the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of the testimonyH5715 were in his hand:H3027 the tablesH3871 were writtenH3789 on bothH8147 their sides;H5676 on the one side and on the otherH2088 were they written.H3789
16
And the tablesH3871 were the workH4639 of God,H430 and the writingH4385 was the writingH4385 of God,H430 gravenH2801 on the tables.H3871
17
And when JoshuaH3091 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 as they shouted,H7452 he saidH559 to Moses,H4872 There is a noiseH6963 of warH4421 in the camp.H4264
18
And he said,H559 It is not the voiceH6963 of them that shoutH6030 for mastery,H1369 neitherH369 is it the voiceH6963 of them that cryH6030 for being overcome:H2476 but the noiseH6963 of them that singH6031 do I hear.H8085
19
And it cameH1961 to pass, as soonH834 as he cameH7126 nearH7126 to the camp,H4264 that he sawH7200 the calf,H5695 and the dancing:H4246 and Moses'H4872 angerH639 waxed hot,H2734 and he castH7993 the tablesH3871 out of his hands,H3027 and brokeH7665 them beneathH8478 the mount.H2022
20
And he tookH3947 the calfH5695 whichH834 they had made,H6213 and burntH8313 it in the fire,H784 and groundH2912 it to powder,H1854 and strewedH2219 it on the water,H4325 and made the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 drinkH8248 of it.
21
And MosesH4872 saidH559 to Aaron,H175 WhatH4100 didH6213 thisH2088 peopleH5971 to you, that you have broughtH935 so greatH1419 a sinH2401 on them?
22
And AaronH175 said,H559 Let not the angerH639 of my lordH113 wax hot:H2734 you knowH3045 the people,H5971 that they are set on mischief.H7451
23
For they saidH559 to me, MakeH6213 us gods,H430 whichH834 shall goH3212 beforeH6440 us: for as for thisH2088 Moses,H4872 the manH376 that broughtH5927 us up out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 we knowH3045 not whatH4100 is becomeH1961 of him.
24
And I saidH559 to them, WhoeverH4310 has any gold,H2091 let them breakH6561 it off. So they gaveH5414 it me: then I castH7993 it into the fire,H784 and there cameH3318 out this calf.H5695
25
And when MosesH4872 sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were naked;H6544 (for AaronH175 had made them nakedH6544 to their shameH8103 among their enemies:H6965)
26
Then MosesH4872 stoodH5975 in the gateH8179 of the camp,H4264 and said,H559 WhoH4310 is on the LORD'sH3068 side? let him come to me. And allH3605 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 gatheredH622 themselves together to him.
27
And he saidH559 to them, ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 PutH7760 every manH376 his swordH2719 by his side,H3409 and goH5674 in and out from gateH8179 to gateH8179 throughout the camp,H4264 and slayH2026 every manH376 his brother,H251 and every manH376 his companion,H7453 and every manH376 his neighbor.H7138
28
And the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of Moses:H4872 and there fellH5307 of the peopleH5971 that dayH3117 about threeH7969 thousandH505 men.H376
29
For MosesH4872 had said,H559 ConsecrateH4390 H3027 yourselvesH3027 todayH3117 to the LORD,H3068 evenH3588 every manH376 on his son,H1121 and on his brother;H251 that he may bestowH5414 on you a blessingH1293 this day.H3117
30
And it cameH1961 to pass on the morrow,H4283 that MosesH4872 saidH559 to the people,H5971 You have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sin:H2401 and nowH6258 I will goH5927 up to the LORD;H3068 peradventureH194 I shall make an atonementH3722 for your sin.H2403
31
And MosesH4872 returnedH7725 to the LORD,H3068 and said,H559 Oh,H577 thisH2088 peopleH5971 have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sin,H2401 and have madeH6213 them godsH430 of gold.H2091
32
Yet now,H6258 ifH518 you will forgiveH5375 their sin;H2403 and ifH518 not, blotH4229 me, I prayH4994 you, out of your bookH5612 whichH834 you have written.H3789
33
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Moses,H4872 WhoeverH4310 H834 has sinnedH2398 against me, him will I blotH4229 out of my book.H5612
34
Therefore nowH6258 go,H3212 leadH5148 the peopleH5971 to the place of whichH834 I have spokenH1696 to you: behold,H2009 my AngelH4397 shall goH3212 beforeH6440 you: nevertheless in the dayH3117 when I visitH6485 I will visitH6485 their sinH2403 on them.
35
And the LORDH3068 plaguedH5062 the people,H5971 becauseH5921 H834 they madeH6213 the calf,H5695 whichH834 AaronH175 made.H6213
