1 And when the people 5971 saw 7200 that Moses 4872 delayed 954 to come down 3381 out of the mount 2022, the people 5971 gathered themselves together 6950 unto Aaron 175, and said 559 unto him, Up 6965, make 6213 us gods 430, which shall go 3212 before 6440 us; for as for this Moses 4872, the man 376 that brought 5927 us up out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, we wot 3045 not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron 175 said 559 unto them, Break off 6561 the golden 2091 earrings 5141, which are in the ears 241 of your wives 802, of your sons 1121, and of your daughters 1323, and bring 935 them unto me.
3 And all the people 5971 brake off 6561 the golden 2091 earrings 5141 which were in their ears 241, and brought 935 them unto Aaron 175.
4 And he received 3947 them at their hand 3027, and fashioned 6696 it with a graving tool 2747, after he had made 6213 it a molten 4541 calf 5695: and they said 559, These be thy gods 430, O Israel 3478, which brought 5927 thee up out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
5 And when Aaron 175 saw 7200 it, he built 1129 an altar 4196 before 6440 it; and Aaron 175 made proclamation 7121, and said 559, To morrow 4279 is a feast 2282 to the LORD 3068.
6 And they rose up early 7925 on the morrow 4283, and offered 5927 burnt offerings 5930, and brought 5066 peace offerings 8002; and the people 5971 sat 3427 down to eat 398 and to drink 8354, and rose up 6965 to play 6711.
7 And the LORD 3068 said 1696 unto Moses 4872, Go 3212, get thee down 3381; for thy people 5971, which thou broughtest 5927 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, have corrupted 7843 themselves:
8 They have turned 5493 aside quickly 4118 out of the way 1870 which I commanded 6680 them: they have made 6213 them a molten 4541 calf 5695, and have worshipped 7812 it, and have sacrificed 2076 thereunto, and said 559, These be thy gods 430, O Israel 3478, which have brought thee up 5927 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
9 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872, I have seen 7200 this people 5971, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked 7186 6203 people 5971:
10 Now therefore let me alone 3240, that my wrath 639 may wax hot 2734 against them, and that I may consume 3615 them: and I will make 6213 of thee a great 1419 nation 1471.
11 And Moses 4872 besought 2470 6440 the LORD 3068 his God 430, and said 559, LORD 3068, why doth thy wrath 639 wax hot 2734 against thy people 5971, which thou hast brought forth 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 with great 1419 power 3581, and with a mighty 2389 hand 3027?
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians 4714 speak 559, and say 559, For mischief 7451 did he bring 3318 them out, to slay 2026 them in the mountains 2022, and to consume 3615 them from the face 6440 of the earth 127? Turn 7725 from thy fierce 2740 wrath 639, and repent 5162 of this evil 7451 against thy people 5971.
13 Remember 2142 Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Israel 3478, thy servants 5650, to whom thou swarest 7650 by thine own self, and saidst 1696 unto them, I will multiply 7235 your seed 2233 as the stars 3556 of heaven 8064, and all this land 776 that I have spoken 559 of will I give 5414 unto your seed 2233, and they shall inherit 5157 it for ever 5769.
14 And the LORD 3068 repented 5162 of the evil 7451 which he thought 1696 to do 6213 unto his people 5971.
15 And Moses 4872 turned 6437, and went down 3381 from the mount 2022, and the two 8147 tables 3871 of the testimony 5715 were in his hand 3027: the tables 3871 were written 3789 on both 8147 their sides 5676; on the one side and on the other were they written 3789.
16 And the tables 3871 were the work 4639 of God 430, and the writing 4385 was the writing 4385 of God 430, graven 2801 upon the tables 3871.
17 And when Joshua 3091 heard 8085 the noise 6963 of the people 5971 as they shouted 7452, he said 559 unto Moses 4872, There is a noise 6963 of war 4421 in the camp 4264.
18 And he said 559, It is not the voice 6963 of them that shout 6030 for mastery 1369, neither is it the voice 6963 of them that cry 6030 for being overcome 2476: but the noise 6963 of them that sing 6031 do I hear 8085.
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh 7126 unto the camp 4264, that he saw 7200 the calf 5695, and the dancing 4246: and Moses 4872' anger 639 waxed hot 2734, and he cast 7993 the tables 3871 out of his hands 3027, and brake 7665 them beneath 8478 the mount 2022.
20 And he took 3947 the calf 5695 which they had made 6213, and burnt 8313 it in the fire 784, and ground 2912 it to powder 1854, and strawed 2219 it upon 6440 the water 4325, and made the children 1121 of Israel 3478 drink 8248 of it.
21 And Moses 4872 said 559 unto Aaron 175, What did 6213 this people 5971 unto thee, that thou hast brought 935 so great 1419 a sin 2401 upon them?
22 And Aaron 175 said 559, Let not the anger 639 of my lord 113 wax hot 2734: thou knowest 3045 the people 5971, that they are set on mischief 7451.
23 For they said 559 unto me, Make 6213 us gods 430, which shall go 3212 before 6440 us: for as for this Moses 4872, the man 376 that brought us up 5927 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, we wot 3045 not what is become of him.
24 And I said 559 unto them, Whosoever hath any gold 2091, let them break 6561 it off. So they gave 5414 it me: then I cast 7993 it into the fire 784, and there came out 3318 this calf 5695.
25 And when Moses 4872 saw 7200 that the people 5971 were naked 6544; (for Aaron 175 had made them naked 6544 unto their shame 8103 among their enemies 6965:)
26 Then Moses 4872 stood 5975 in the gate 8179 of the camp 4264, and said 559, Who is on the LORD'S 3068 side? let him come unto me. And all the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 gathered 622 themselves together unto him.
27 And he said 559 unto them, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, Put 7760 every man 376 his sword 2719 by his side 3409, and go 5674 in and out 7725 from gate 8179 to gate 8179 throughout the camp 4264, and slay 2026 every man 376 his brother 251, and every man 376 his companion 7453, and every man 376 his neighbour 7138.
28 And the children 1121 of Levi 3878 did 6213 according to the word 1697 of Moses 4872: and there fell 5307 of the people 5971 that day 3117 about three 7969 thousand 505 men 376.
29 For Moses 4872 had said 559, Consecrate yourselves 4390 3027 to day 3117 to the LORD 3068, even 3588 every man 376 upon his son 1121, and upon his brother 251; that he may bestow 5414 upon you a blessing 1293 this day 3117.
30 And it came to pass on the morrow 4283, that Moses 4872 said 559 unto the people 5971, Ye have sinned 2398 a great 1419 sin 2401: and now I will go up 5927 unto the LORD 3068; peradventure 194 I shall make an atonement 3722 for 1157 your sin 2403.
31 And Moses 4872 returned 7725 unto the LORD 3068, and said 559, Oh 577, this people 5971 have sinned 2398 a great 1419 sin 2401, and have made 6213 them gods 430 of gold 2091.
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive 5375 their sin 2403--; and if not, blot 4229 me, I pray thee, out of thy book 5612 which thou hast written 3789.
33 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872, Whosoever 834 hath sinned 2398 against me, him will I blot out 4229 of my book 5612.
34 Therefore now go 3212, lead 5148 the people 5971 unto the place of which I have spoken 1696 unto thee: behold, mine Angel 4397 shall go 3212 before 6440 thee: nevertheless in the day 3117 when I visit 6485 I will visit 6485 their sin 2403 upon them.
35 And the LORD 3068 plagued 5062 the people 5971, because 834 they made 6213 the calf 5695, which 834 Aaron 175 made 6213.
