Exodus 32: 1-8
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down
out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together
unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall
go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us
up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
32:2
And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings,
which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your
daughters, and bring them unto me.
32:3
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in
their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
32:4
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a
graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they
said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out
of the land of Egypt.
32:5
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron
made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the
LORD.
32:6
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt
offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat
down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
32:7
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy
people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have
corrupted themselves:
32:8
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I
commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and
have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said,
These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out
of the land of Egypt.
