02:032:027 And he said unto them, Thus saith the lord
God of Israel, Put
every
man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate
to
gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother,
and
every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
02:032:028 And the children of Levi did according
to the word of Moses:
and
there fell of the people that day about three thousand
men.
02:032:029 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves
today to the lord,
even
every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that
he may
bestow
upon you a blessing this day.
02:032:030 And it came to pass on the morrow, that
Moses said unto the
people,
Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go
up unto
the
lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for
your sin.
02:032:031 And Moses returned unto the lord,
and said, Oh, this people
have
sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
02:032:032 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—;
and if not, blot
me,
I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
02:032:033 And the lord said unto Moses, Whosoever
hath sinned against
me,
him will I blot out of my book.
02:032:034 Therefore now go, lead the people unto
the place of which I
have
spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go
before
thee:
nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their
sin
upon them.
02:032:035 And the lord plagued the people, because
they made the calf,
which
Aaron made.
02:033:001 And the lord said unto Moses, Depart,
and go up hence, thou
and
the people which thou hast brought up out of the land
of
Egypt,
unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac,
and
to
Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
02:033:002 And I will send an angel before thee; and
I will drive out the
Canaanite,
the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite,
the
Hivite, and the Jebusite:
02:033:003 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey:
for I will not go up
in
the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people:
lest
I
consume thee in the way.
02:033:004 And when the people heard these evil tidings,
they mourned:
and
no man did put on him his ornaments.
02:033:005 For the lord had said unto Moses,
Say unto the children of
Israel,
Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into
the
midst
of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore
now put
off
thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do
unto
thee.
