The Golden Calf and the Renewal of the Covenant

Chapter 32

The Golden Calf. ¹ When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and told him, “Make a god to walk before us, because we do not know what has happened to Moses, the one who brought us out of the land of Egypt.”

² Aaron answered them, “Take the gold earrings off your wives and sons and daughters and bring them to me.”
