1 # And when the people <05971> saw <07200> (8799) that Moses <04872> delayed <0954> (8765) to come down <03381> (8800) out of the mount <02022>, the people <05971> gathered themselves together <06950> (8735) unto Aaron <0175>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Up <06965> (8798), make <06213> (8798) us gods <0430>, which shall go <03212> (8799) before <06440> us; for as for this Moses <04872>, the man <0376> that brought <05927> (8689) us up out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, we wot <03045> (8804) not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron <0175> said <0559> (8799) unto them, Break off <06561> (8761) the golden <02091> earrings <05141>, which are in the ears <0241> of your wives <0802>, of your sons <01121>, and of your daughters <01323>, and bring <0935> (8685) them unto me.
3 And all the people <05971> brake off <06561> (8691) the golden <02091> earrings <05141> which were in their ears <0241>, and brought <0935> (8686) them unto Aaron <0175>.
4 And he received <03947> (8799) them at their hand <03027>, and fashioned <06696> (8799) it with a graving tool <02747>, after he had made <06213> (8799) it a molten <04541> calf <05695>: and they said <0559> (8799), These be thy gods <0430>, O Israel <03478>, which brought <05927> (8689) thee up out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> .
5 And when Aaron <0175> saw <07200> (8799) it, he built <01129> (8799) an altar <04196> before <06440> it; and Aaron <0175> made proclamation <07121> (8799), and said <0559> (8799), To morrow <04279> is a feast <02282> to the LORD <03068>.
6 And they rose up early <07925> (8686) on the morrow <04283>, and offered <05927> (8686) burnt offerings <05930>, and brought <05066> (8686) peace offerings <08002>; and the people <05971> sat <03427> (8799) down to eat <0398> (8800) and to drink <08354> (8800), and rose up <06965> (8799) to play <06711> (8763).
7 # And the LORD <03068> said <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872>, Go <03212> (8798), get thee down <03381> (8798); for thy people <05971>, which thou broughtest <05927> (8689) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> , have corrupted <07843> (8765) themselves:
8 They have turned <05493> (8804) aside quickly <04118> out of the way <01870> which I commanded <06680> (8765) them: they have made <06213> (8804) them a molten <04541> calf <05695>, and have worshipped <07812> (8691) it, and have sacrificed <02076> (8799) thereunto, and said <0559> (8799), These be thy gods <0430>, O Israel <03478>, which have brought thee up <05927> (8689) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
9 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Moses <04872>, I have seen <07200> (8804) this people <05971>, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked <07186> <06203> people <05971>:
10 Now therefore let me alone <03240> (8685), that my wrath <0639> may wax hot <02734> (8799) against them, and that I may consume <03615> (8762) them: and I will make <06213> (8799) of thee a great <01419> nation <01471>.
11 And Moses <04872> besought <02470> (8762) <06440> the LORD <03068> his God <0430>, and said <0559> (8799), LORD <03068>, why doth thy wrath <0639> wax hot <02734> (8799) against thy people <05971>, which thou hast brought forth <03318> (8689) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> with great <01419> power <03581>, and with a mighty <02389> hand <03027>?
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians <04714> speak <0559> (8799), and say <0559> (8800), For mischief <07451> did he bring <03318> (8689) them out, to slay <02026> (8800) them in the mountains <02022>, and to consume <03615> (8763) them from the face <06440> of the earth <0127>? Turn <07725> (8798) from thy fierce <02740> wrath <0639>, and repent <05162> (8734) of this evil <07451> against thy people <05971>.
13 Remember <02142> (8798) Abraham <085>, Isaac <03327>, and Israel <03478>, thy servants <05650>, to whom thou swarest <07650> (8738) by thine own self, and saidst <01696> (8762) unto them, I will multiply <07235> (8686) your seed <02233> as the stars <03556> of heaven <08064>, and all this land <0776> that I have spoken <0559> (8804) of will I give <05414> (8799) unto your seed <02233>, and they shall inherit <05157> (8804) it for ever <05769>.
14 And the LORD <03068> repented <05162> (8735) of the evil <07451> which he thought <01696> (8765) to do <06213> (8800) unto his people <05971>.
15 # And Moses <04872> turned <06437> (8799), and went down <03381> (8799) from the mount <02022>, and the two <08147> tables <03871> of the testimony <05715> were in his hand <03027>: the tables <03871> were written <03789> (8803) on both <08147> their sides <05676>; on the one side and on the other were they written <03789> (8803).
16 And the tables <03871> were the work <04639> of God <0430>, and the writing <04385> was the writing <04385> of God <0430>, graven <02801> (8803) upon the tables <03871>.
17 And when Joshua <03091> heard <08085> (8799) the noise <06963> of the people <05971> as they shouted <07452> , he said <0559> (8799) unto Moses <04872>, There is a noise <06963> of war <04421> in the camp <04264>.
18 And he said <0559> (8799), It is not the voice <06963> of them that shout <06030> (8800) for mastery <01369>, neither is it the voice <06963> of them that cry <06030> (8800) for being overcome <02476>: but the noise <06963> of them that sing <06031> (8763) do I hear <08085> (8802).
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh <07126> (8804) unto the camp <04264>, that he saw <07200> (8799) the calf <05695>, and the dancing <04246>: and Moses <04872>' anger <0639> waxed hot <02734> (8799), and he cast <07993> (8686) the tables <03871> out of his hands <03027>, and brake <07665> (8762) them beneath <08478> the mount <02022> .
20 And he took <03947> (8799) the calf <05695> which they had made <06213> (8804), and burnt <08313> (8799) it in the fire <0784>, and ground <02912> (8799) it to powder <01854> (8804), and strawed <02219> (8799) it upon <06440> the water <04325>, and made the children <01121> of Israel <03478> drink <08248> (8686) of it.
21 # And Moses <04872> said <0559> (8799) unto Aaron <0175>, What did <06213> (8804) this people <05971> unto thee, that thou hast brought <0935> (8689) so great <01419> a sin <02401> upon them?
22 And Aaron <0175> said <0559> (8799), Let not the anger <0639> of my lord <0113> wax hot <02734> (8799): thou knowest <03045> (8804) the people <05971>, that they are set on mischief <07451>.
23 For they said <0559> (8799) unto me, Make <06213> (8798) us gods <0430>, which shall go <03212> (8799) before <06440> us: for as for this Moses <04872>, the man <0376> that brought us up <05927> (8689) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, we wot <03045> (8804) not what is become of him.
24 And I said <0559> (8799) unto them, Whosoever hath any gold <02091>, let them break <06561> (8690) it off. So they gave <05414> (8799) it me: then I cast <07993> (8686) it into the fire <0784>, and there came out <03318> (8799) this calf <05695>.
25 And when Moses <04872> saw <07200> (8799) that the people <05971> were naked <06544> (8803) ; (for Aaron <0175> had made them naked <06544> (8804) unto their shame <08103> among their enemies <06965> (8801):)
26 Then Moses <04872> stood <05975> (8799) in the gate <08179> of the camp <04264>, and said <0559> (8799), Who is on the LORD'S <03068> side? let him come unto me. And all the sons <01121> of Levi <03878> gathered <0622> (8735) themselves together unto him.
27 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Put <07760> (8798) every man <0376> his sword <02719> by his side <03409>, and go <05674> (8798) in and out <07725> (8798) from gate <08179> to gate <08179> throughout the camp <04264>, and slay <02026> (8798) every man <0376> his brother <0251>, and every man <0376> his companion <07453>, and every man <0376> his neighbour <07138> .
28 And the children <01121> of Levi <03878> did <06213> (8799) according to the word <01697> of Moses <04872> : and there fell <05307> (8799) of the people <05971> that day <03117> about three <07969> thousand <0505> men <0376>.
29 For Moses <04872> had said <0559> (8799), Consecrate yourselves <04390> (8798) <03027> to day <03117> to the LORD <03068>, even <03588> every man <0376> upon his son <01121>, and upon his brother <0251>; that he may bestow <05414> (8800) upon you a blessing <01293> this day <03117>.
30 # And it came to pass on the morrow <04283>, that Moses <04872> said <0559> (8799) unto the people <05971>, Ye have sinned <02398> (8804) a great <01419> sin <02401>: and now I will go up <05927> (8799) unto the LORD <03068> ; peradventure <0194> I shall make an atonement <03722> (8762) for <01157> your sin <02403>.
31 And Moses <04872> returned <07725> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), Oh <0577>, this people <05971> have sinned <02398> (8804) a great <01419> sin <02401>, and have made <06213> (8799) them gods <0430> of gold <02091>.
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive <05375> (8799) their sin <02403>#; and if not, blot <04229> (8798) me, I pray thee, out of thy book <05612> which thou hast written <03789> (8804).
33 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Moses <04872>, Whosoever <0834> hath sinned <02398> (8804) against me, him will I blot out <04229> (8799) of my book <05612>.
34 Therefore now go <03212> (8798), lead <05148> (8798) the people <05971> unto the place of which I have spoken <01696> (8765) unto thee: behold, mine Angel <04397> shall go <03212> (8799) before <06440> thee: nevertheless in the day <03117> when I visit <06485> (8800) I will visit <06485> (8804) their sin <02403> upon them.
35 And the LORD <03068> plagued <05062> (8799) the people <05971>, because <0834> they made <06213> (8804) the calf <05695>, which <0834> Aaron <0175> made <06213> (8804).
