RF EXO 32:1 The People make an Idol.
When the People saw that Moses delayed to descend from the mountain, they called upon Aaron, and said to him, "Rouse up, and make us GODs who may go before us!—for as for this fellow, Moses, who brought us up out of the land of the Mitzeraim, we know not what has become of him!"
RF EXO 32:2 Then Aaron replied to them, "Pull off the earrings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, sons, and daughters, and bring them to me."
RF EXO 32:3 All the people pulled off the rings of gold which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron,
RF EXO 32:4 and he took them from their hands, and modelled for it with a tool, and made a calf by casting, and said; "Israel! these are your GODs who brought you up out of the land of the Mitzeraim."
RF EXO 32:5 Then Aaron paid it reverence and built an altar before it. Aaron also proclaimed and said "A feast to the POWER to-morrow."
RF EXO 32:6 So they arose early on the morrow and offered sacrifices, and presented thank offerings. Then the People sat down to eat and drink, and got up to play.
RF EXO 32:7 The LORD however said to Moses, "Go! Descend!—For your People whom you led out of Mitzer have corrupted themselves!
RF EXO 32:8 They have soon turned from the path which I commanded them! They have made for themselves a cast-metal calf and they are worshipping it! And they sacrifice to it, and say; 'This is your GOD, Israel! that brought you up from the land of the Mitzeraim.'"
RF EXO 32:9 And the LORD said to Moses, "I fear for this People for it is a people of stiff neck.—
RF EXO 32:10 So now let Me alone, and My anger will burn against them, and consume them, and I will make from you a great nation."
RF EXO 32:11 But Moses fell upon his face before his EVER-LIVING GOD, and said; "Why, LORD, should Your anger burn against Your people, whom You have brought up out of the land of the Mitzeraim with great power and with a strong arm?
RF EXO 32:12 Why should the Mitzerites say; 'He brought them out for evil, to kill them among the mountains, and to exterminate them from the face of the earth?'—Turn away Your anger and forgive Your people.
RF EXO 32:13 Remember Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, what you swore to them by YOURSELF, and promised them that their race should be as numerous as the stars of heaven; and also of this land which You promised to give to their descendants to inherit forever."
RF EXO 32:14 So the EVER-LIVING had compassion upon the sin which His people had done against Him.
RF EXO 32:15 The Laws of GOD Broken.
Then Moses turned and descended from the hill, with the two tables of the Law in his hands;—both tablets written upon both sides with writing.
RF EXO 32:16 And GOD had made those tablets; and GOD wrote the writing that was engraved upon the tablets.
RF EXO 32:17 When Joshua heard the voice of the people at sin, he said to Moses "There is the sound of war in the camp.
RF EXO 32:18 But he replied; "It is not the sound of contention with swords;—nor is it the sound of contention in charging, that I hear the roar of!"
RF EXO 32:19 And when they approached the camp, and saw the calf, and the dancing, then the anger of Moses burnt, and he flung the two tablets from his hands, and broke them under the mountain.
RF EXO 32:20 (He afterwards took the calf which they had made and burnt it in the fire, and ground it until it was like dust, and threw it upon the face of the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.)
RF EXO 32:21 Then Moses demanded of Aaron, "What have this People done to you, that you should bring upon them this great sin?"
RF EXO 32:22 But Aaron replied, "Let not my Prince's anger burn! You know this people, how bad they are!
RF EXO 32:23 and they said to me, 'Make GODs for us, who can go before us—for as for this fellow Moses, who brought us up from the land of the Mitzeraim, we know not what has become of him.'
—————
1 V. 20, in parentheses, does not refer to the immediate act of Moses, but to his subsequent action after suppressing the revolt. The narrative starts again at v. 21. See V.30, Ch. 32.—F.F.
RF EXO 32:24 So I said to them, 'Bring me gold,' and they brought it, and gave me it, and I threw it into the furnace, and this calf was produced!
RF EXO 32:25 Then Moses saw that the People were in revolt, and had involved Aaron in their insurrection.
RF EXO 32:26 Therefore Moses stood up at the gate of the camp, and cried; "Who is for my EVER-LIVING GOD?" when all the sons of Levi joined him.
RF EXO 32:27 And he said to them, "Thus says the EVER-LIVING, the GOD of Israel; 'Let every man bind his sword upon his thigh! Go through and return from gate to gate of the camp and kill every man his brother, and every man his neighbour, and every man his friend!'"
RF EXO 32:28 So the sons of Levi did it, as Moses commanded, and there fell of the people in that day three-thousand men.
RF EXO 32:29 Moses afterwards said; "Your hands to-day have worked for the EVER-LIVING; thus each man has gained for himself a blessing through his son, and through his brother."
RF EXO 32:30 Some days afterwards, however, Moses said to the people themselves; "You have sinned a great sin; so now I will offer to the EVER-LIVING a ram as an expiation on account of your sin."
RF EXO 32:31 Therefore Moses turned to the EVER-LIVING and said; "Certainly this People have sinned a great sin, when they made a GOD of gold for themselves;
RF EXO 32:32 but yet remove their sin; and if not, strike me out of Your Book which You have written."
RF EXO 32:33 Then the EVER-LIVING answered Moses, "What is their sin to ME? I will strike them from My Book.
RF EXO 32:34 But now go, lead the People to where I command you, and My Messenger shall go before your face, and in the day of visitation I will visit upon them their sin."
RF EXO 32:35 Thus the EVER-LIVING punished the People for what they had done, regarding the calf that Aaron had made.
