Exodus:32:1-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears ,
and brought them unto Aaron .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
