Exodus 32:1 And when the people5971 saw7200 that Moses4872 delayed954 to come down3381 out of the mount,2022 the people5971 gathered themselves together6950 unto Aaron,175 and said559 unto him, Up,6965 make6213 us gods,430 which shall go3212 before6440 us; for asfor this Moses,4872 the man376 that brought5927 us up out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 we wot3045 not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron175 said559 unto them, Break off6561 the golden2091 earrings,5141 which are in the ears241 of your wives,802 of your sons,1121 and of your daughters,1323 and bring935them unto me.
3 And all the people5971 brake off6561 the golden2091 earrings5141 which were in their ears,241 and brought935them unto Aaron.1754 And he received3947them at their hand,3027 and fashioned6696 it with a graving tool,2747 after he had made6213 it a molten4541 calf:5695 and they said,559 These be thy gods,430 O Israel,3478 which brought5927 thee up out of the land776 of Egypt.47145 And when Aaron175 saw7200it, he built1129 an altar4196 before6440 it; and Aaron175 made proclamation,7121 and said,559 To morrow4279is a feast2282 to the LORD.30686 And they rose up early7925 on the morrow,4283 and offered5927 burnt offerings,5930 and brought5066 peace offerings;8002 and the people5971 sat3427 down to eat398 and to drink,8354 and rose up6965 to play.6711
Exodus 32:7 And the LORD3068 said1696 unto Moses,4872 Go,3212 get thee down;3381 for thy people,5971 which thou broughtest5927 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 have corrupted7843themselves:8 They have turned5493 aside quickly4118 out of the way1870 which I commanded6680 them: they have made6213 them a molten4541 calf,5695 and have worshipped7812 it, and have sacrificed2076 thereunto, and said,559 These be thy gods,430 O Israel,3478 which have brought thee up5927 out of the land776 of Egypt.47149 And the LORD3068 said559 unto Moses,4872 I have seen7200 this people,5971 and, behold, it is a stiffnecked71866203 people:597110 Now therefore let me alone,3240 that my wrath639 may wax hot2734 against them, and that I may consume3615 them: and I will make6213 of thee a great1419 nation.1471
Exodus 32:11 And Moses4872 besought24706440 the LORD3068{Heb. the face of the LORD} his God,430 and said,559 LORD,3068 why doth thy wrath639 wax hot2734 against thy people,5971 which thou hast brought forth3318 out of the land776 of Egypt4714 with great1419 power,3581 and with a mighty2389 hand?302712 Wherefore should the Egyptians4714 speak,559 and say,559 For mischief7451 did he bring3318 them out, to slay2026 them in the mountains,2022 and to consume3615 them from the face6440 of the earth?127 Turn7725 from thy fierce2740 wrath,639 and repent5162 of this evil7451 against thy people.597113 Remember2142 Abraham,85 Isaac,3327 and Israel,3478 thy servants,5650 to whom thou swarest7650 by thine own self, and saidst1696 unto them, I will multiply7235 your seed2233 as the stars3556 of heaven,8064 and all this land776 that I have spoken559 of will I give5414 unto your seed,2233 and they shall inherit5157it for ever.576914 And the LORD3068 repented5162 of the evil7451 which he thought1696 to do6213 unto his people.5971
Exodus 32:15 And Moses4872 turned,6437 and went down3381 from the mount,2022 and the two8147 tables3871 of the testimony5715were in his hand:3027 the tables3871were written3789 on both8147 their sides;5676 on the one side and on the other were they written.378916 And the tables3871were the work4639 of God,430 and the writing4385was the writing4385 of God,430 graven2801 upon the tables.387117 And when Joshua3091 heard8085 the noise6963 of the people5971 as they shouted,7452 he said559 unto Moses,4872Thereis a noise6963 of war4421 in the camp.426418 And he said,559Itis not the voice6963 of themthat shout6030 for mastery,1369 neither isit the voice6963 of themthat cry6030 for being overcome:2476{Heb. weakness}but the noise6963 of themthat sing6031 do I hear.8085
Exodus 32:19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh7126 unto the camp,4264 that he saw7200 the calf,5695 and the dancing:4246 and Moses'4872 anger639 waxed hot,2734 and he cast7993 the tables3871 out of his hands,3027 and brake7665 them beneath8478 the mount.202220 And he took3947 the calf5695 which they had made,6213 and burnt8313it in the fire,784 and ground2912it to powder,1854 and strawed2219it upon6440 the water,4325 and made the children1121 of Israel3478 drink8248ofit.21 And Moses4872 said559 unto Aaron,175 What did6213 this people5971 unto thee, that thou hast brought935 so great1419 a sin2401 upon them?
22 And Aaron175 said,559 Let not the anger639 of my lord113 wax hot:2734 thou knowest3045 the people,5971 that they areset on mischief.745123 For they said559 unto me, Make6213 us gods,430 which shall go3212 before6440 us: for asfor this Moses,4872 the man376 that brought us up5927 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 we wot3045 not what is become of him.
24 And I said559 unto them, Whosoever hath any gold,2091 let them break6561it off. So they gave5414it me: then I cast7993 it into the fire,784 and there came out3318 this calf.5695
Exodus 32:25 And when Moses4872 saw7200 that the people5971were naked;6544 (for Aaron175 had made them naked6544 unto their shame8103 among their enemies:)6965{Heb. those that rose up against them}26 Then Moses4872 stood5975 in the gate8179 of the camp,4264 and said,559 Who is on the LORD'S3068 side? lethimcome unto me. And all the sons1121 of Levi3878 gathered622 themselves together unto him.
27 And he said559 unto them, Thus saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 Put7760 every man376 his sword2719 by his side,3409and go5674 in and out7725 from gate8179 to gate8179 throughout the camp,4264 and slay2026 every man376 his brother,251 and every man376 his companion,7453 and every man376 his neighbour.713828 And the children1121 of Levi3878 did6213 according to the word1697 of Moses:4872 and there fell5307 of the people5971 that day3117 about three7969 thousand505 men.37629 For Moses4872 had said,559 Consecrate{Heb. fill your hands} yourselves43903027 to day3117 to the LORD,3068 even3588 every man376 upon his son,1121 and upon his brother;251{Or, And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, because every man hath been against his son, and against his brother, etc} that he may bestow5414 upon you a blessing1293 this day.3117
Exodus 32:30 And it came to pass on the morrow,4283 that Moses4872 said559 unto the people,5971 Ye have sinned2398 a great1419 sin:2401 and now I will go up5927 unto the LORD;3068 peradventure194 I shall make an atonement3722 for1157 your sin.240331 And Moses4872 returned7725 unto the LORD,3068 and said,559 Oh,577 this people5971 have sinned2398 a great1419 sin,2401 and have made6213 them gods430 of gold.209132 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive5375 their sin2403 --; and if not, blot4229 me, I pray thee, out of thy book5612 which thou hast written.378933 And the LORD3068 said559 unto Moses,4872 Whosoever834 hath sinned2398 against me, him will I blot out4229 of my book.561234 Therefore now go,3212 lead5148 the people5971 unto theplace of which I have spoken1696 unto thee: behold, mine Angel4397 shall go3212 before6440 thee: nevertheless in the day3117 when I visit6485 I will visit6485 their sin2403 upon them.
35 And the LORD3068 plagued5062 the people,5971 because834 they made6213 the calf,5695 which834 Aaron175 made.6213
