02:031:017 It is a sign between me and the children
of Israel for ever:
for
in six days the lord made heaven and earth, and
on the
seventh
day he rested, and was refreshed.
02:031:018 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made
an end of communing
with
him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables
of
stone,
written with the finger of God.
02:032:001 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.
02:032:002 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.
02:032:003 And all the people brake off the golden
earrings which were in
their
ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
02:032:004 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.
02:032:005 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.
02:032:006 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.
02:032:007 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:
02:032:008 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.
02:032:009 And the lord said unto Moses, I have
seen this people, and,
behold,
it is a stiffnecked people:
02:032:010 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath
may wax hot against
them,
and that I may consume them: and I will make of
thee a
great
nation.
02:032:011 And Moses besought the lord his God,
and said, lord, why doth
thy
wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought
forth
out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with
a
mighty
hand?
