Exodus 32
1 When the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us an idol that will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.”
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 So Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings that are on your wives' ears, and the ears of your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
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 All the people took off the golden rings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.
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 He received the gold from them, fashioned it in a mold, and made it into a molded calf. Then the people said, “Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
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 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and made a proclamation; he said, “Tomorrow will be a festival in Yahweh's honor.”
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 The people arose early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. Then they sat down to eat and to drink, and then got up to carouse in wild celebration.
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 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go quickly, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
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 quickly left the way that I commanded them. They have molded for themselves a calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it. They have said, 'Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'”
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 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people. Look, they are a stiff-necked people.
And he said Yahweh to Moses I have seen the people this and there! [is] a people stiff of neck it.
10 Now then, do not try to stop me. My anger will burn hot against them, so I will destroy them. Then I will make a great nation from you.”
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 But Moses tried to calm down Yahweh his God. He said, “Yahweh, why does your anger burn against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
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 should the Egyptians say, 'He led them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth?' Turn from your burning anger and relent from this punishment on your people.
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 Call to mind Abraham and Isaac and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self and said to them, 'I will make your descendants as many as the stars in the heavens, and I will give to your descendants all this land of which I have spoken. They will inherit it forever.'”
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 Then Yahweh relented from the punishment that he had said he would inflict on his people.
And he relented Yahweh on the harm which he had spoken to do to people his.
15 Then Moses turned around and went down the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the covenant decrees in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides, on both the front and the back.
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 The tablets were God's own work, and the writing was God's own writing, engraved on the tablets.
And the tablets [were] [the] work of God they and the writing [was] [the] writing of God it engraved on the tablets.
17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of combat in the camp.”
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 But Moses said, “It is not the sound of a victor, and not the sound of defeated people, but the sound of singing that I hear.”
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 When Moses approached the camp, he saw the calf and the people dancing. He became very angry. He threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the bottom of the mountain.
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 He took the calf that the people had made, burned it, ground it to powder, and poured it into the water. Then he made the people of Israel drink it.
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 Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such a great sin on them?”
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 Aaron said, “Do not let your anger burn hot, my master. You know these people, how they are set on doing evil.
And he said Aaron may not it burn [the] anger of lord my you you know the people that [is] on evil it.
23 They said to me, 'Make us a god who will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
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 So I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let him take it off.' They gave me the gold and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
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 Moses saw that the people were running wild (for Aaron had let them get out of control, causing their enemies to mock them).
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 Then Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh's side, come to me.” All the Levites gathered around him.
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 He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: 'Let each man fasten his sword on his side and go back and forth from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and kill his brother, his companion, and his neighbor.'”
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 The Levites did what Moses ordered. That day about three thousand of the people died.
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 Moses said to the Levites, “You have been placed into Yahweh's service today, for each of you has taken action against his son and his brother, so Yahweh might give you a blessing today.”
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 The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a very great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
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 Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin and made themselves an idol of gold.
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 But now, please forgive their sin; but if you do not, blot me out of the book that you have written.”
And therefore if you will forgive sin their and if not wipe out me please from book your which you have written.
33 Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, that person I will blot out of my book.
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 So now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. See, my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish them, I will punish them for their sin.”
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 Yahweh sent a plague on the people because they had made the calf, the one that Aaron made.
And he struck Yahweh the people on that they had made the calf which he had made Aaron.
