Bible. Exodus
02:032:015 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.
02:032:016 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the
writing of God, graven upon the tables.
02:032:017 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.
02:032:018 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.
02:032:019 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.
02:032:020 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.
02:032:021 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee,
that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
02:032:022 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou
knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
02:032:023 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.
02:032:024 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.
02:032:025 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had
made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
02:032:026 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.
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.
