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.
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:
