Exodus 32:26
Compare all
24 And I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.’ So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
25 Now when Moses saw that the people were aunrestrained (for Aaron bhad not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies),  
26 then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the Lord’s side—come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 And he said to them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and alet every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’ ”  
28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
29 aThen Moses said,1 “Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.”  
30 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, a“You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the Lord; bperhaps I can cmake atonement for your sin.”

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
