Acts 7:41
And they made a calf - In imitation of Apis, the Egyptian god: and rejoiced in the works of their hands - In the god they had made.
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?
c‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And aI will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And aI will carry you away beyond Babylon.’

45 awhich our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, bwhom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the cdays of David,
