Exodus 32:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 32:1

The Gold Calf

1 Now when the people saw that Moses ^adelayed coming down from the mountain, the people ^bgathered together to Aaron, and said to him, ^c“Come, make us gods that shall ^dgo before us; for as for this Moses, the man who ^ebrought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”

2 And Aaron said to them, “Break off the ^agolden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.”

3 So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.

4 ^aAnd he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf. Then they said, “This is your god, O Israel, that ^bbrought you out of the land of Egypt!”
