< Exodus 32 >
1 And it saw the people that he delayed Moses to come down from the mountain and it assembled the people to Aaron and they said to him arise - make for us gods which they will go before us for this - Moses the man who he brought up us from [the] land of Egypt not we know what? has it happened to him.
2 And he said to them Aaron tear off [the] rings of gold which [are] on [the] ears of wives your sons your and daughters your and bring [them] to me.
3 And they tore off from themselves all the people [the] rings of gold which [were] on ears their and they brought [them] to Aaron.
4 And he took [them] from hand their and he fashioned it with tool and he made it a calf of molten metal and they said these [are] gods your O Israel who they brought up you from [the] land of Egypt.
5 And he saw Aaron and he built an altar before it and he called Aaron and he said a festival of Yahweh [will be] tomorrow.
6 And they rose early from [the] next day and they offered up burnt offerings and they brought near peace offerings and it sat down the people to eat and to drink and they arose to play.
7 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses go go down for it has behaved corruptly people your which you brought up from [the] land of Egypt.
8 They have turned aside quickly from the way which I commanded them they have made for themselves a calf of molten metal and they have bowed down to it and they have sacrificed to it and they have said these [are] gods your O Israel who they brought up you from [the] land of Egypt.
9 And he said Yahweh to Moses I have seen the people this and there! [is] a people stiff of neck it.
10 And therefore leave alone! me so may it burn anger my on them so I may make an end of them and I may make you into a nation great.
11 And he entreated Moses [the] face of Yahweh God his and he said why? O Yahweh does it burn anger your on people your which you brought out from [the] land of Egypt with power great and by a hand strong.
12 Why? will they say Egypt saying with evil he brought out them to kill them in the mountains and to make an end of them from on [the] surface of the ground turn from [the] burning of anger your and relent on the harm to people your.
13 Remember Abraham Isaac and Israel servants your whom you swore to them by yourself and you said to them I will increase offspring your like [the] stars of the heavens and all the land this which I have promised I will give to offspring your and they will possess [it] for ever.
14 And he relented Yahweh on the harm which he had spoken to do to people his.
15 And he turned and he went down Moses from the mountain and [the] two [the] tablets of the testimony [were] in hand his tablets written from [the] two sides their from this and from this they [were] written.
16 And the tablets [were] [the] work of God they and the writing [was] [the] writing of God it engraved on the tablets.
17 And he heard Joshua [the] sound of the people (in shouting its *Q(K)*) and he said to Moses a sound of battle [is] in the camp.
18 And he said there not [is] a sound of singing of strength and there not [is] a sound of singing of weakness a sound of singing I [am] hearing.
19 And it was just when he drew near to the camp and he saw the calf and dancing and it burned [the] anger of Moses and he threw down (from hands his *Q(K)*) the tablets and he broke in pieces them under the mountain.
20 And he took the calf which they had made and he burned [it] with fire and he ground [it] until that it was fine and he scattered [it] on [the] surface of the water and he made drink [it] [the] people of Israel.
21 And he said Moses to Aaron what? did it do to you the people this that you have brought on it a sin great.
22 And he said Aaron may not it burn [the] anger of lord my you you know the people that [is] on evil it.
23 And they said to me make for us gods which they will go before us for this - Moses the man who he brought up us from [the] land of Egypt not we know what? has it happened to him.
24 And I said to them [belongs] to whom? gold tear [it] off from yourselves and they gave [it] to me and I threw it in the fire and it came out the calf this.
25 And he saw Moses the people for [was] running wild it for had let [it] run wild he Aaron for derision among [those who] rise against them.
26 And he stood Moses at [the] gate of the camp and he said who? [belongs] to Yahweh to me and they gathered themselves to him all [the] descendants of Levi.
27 And he said to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel put everyone sword his on thigh his pass and return from gate to gate in the camp and kill everyone brother his and everyone friend his and everyone neighbor his.
28 And they did [the] descendants of Levi according to [the] word of Moses and it fell of the people on the day that about three thousand person[s].
29 And he said Moses fill hand your this day to Yahweh for everyone [was] on son his and on brother his and to put on yourselves this day a blessing.
30 And it was from [the] next day and he said Moses to the people you you have sinned a sin great and now I will go up to Yahweh perhaps I will atone for sin your.
31 And he returned Moses to Yahweh and he said I beg you it has sinned the people this a sin great and they have made for themselves gods of gold.
32 And therefore if you will forgive sin their and if not wipe out me please from book your which you have written.
33 And he said Yahweh to Moses who? [is [the] one] who he has sinned to me I will wipe out him from book my.
34 And now go - lead the people to where I have spoken to you there! angel my he will go before you and on [the] day visit I and I will visit on them sin their.
35 And he struck Yahweh the people on that they had made the calf which he had made Aaron.
