Book 02 : EXODUS - Chapter 032
032:001
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
032:002
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in
their ears, and brought them unto Aaron
032:003
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
032:004
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
032:005
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
032:006
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
032:007
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
032:008
And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and,
behold, it is a stiffnecked people
032:009
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
032:010
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
032:011
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief
did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to
consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce
wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people
032:012
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom
thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will
multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land
that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they
shall inherit it for ever
032:013
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto
his people
032:014
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two
tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were
written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other
were they written
032:015
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the
writing of God, graven upon the tables
032:016
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted,
he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp
032:017
And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for
mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being
overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear
032:018
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp,
that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed
hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them
beneath the mount
032:019
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the
fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water,
and made the children of Israel drink of it
032:020
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee,
that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them
032:021
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou
knowest the people, that they are set on mischief
032:022
For they said unto me, 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
032:023
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break
it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and
there came out this calf
032:024
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had
made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:
032:025
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on
the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of
Levi gathered themselves together unto him
032:026
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
032:027
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses:
and there fell of the people that day about three thousand
men
032:028
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
032:029
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
032:030
And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people
have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold
032:031
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot
me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written
032:032
And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against
me, him will I blot out of my book
032:033
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
032:034
And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf,
which Aaron made
