Israel Rebels Against God

37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ^a‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. ^bHim you shall hear.’

38 ^a“This is he who was in the¹ congregation in the wilderness with ^bthe Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, ^cthe one who received the living ^doracles to give to us,

39 whom our fathers ^awould not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,

40 ^asaying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’

41 ^aAnd they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and ^brejoiced in the works of their own hands.

42 Then ^aGod turned and gave them up to worship ^bthe host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:
^c‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
