Exodus 32:1
|
|
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to
come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron,
and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this
Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is
become of him. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:2 |
|
And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden
rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters,
and bring them unto me. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 32:3 |
|
And all the people brake off the golden rings
which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 32:4 |
|
And he received it at their hand, and fashioned
it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy
gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 32:5 |
|
And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before
it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow shall be a feast to Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 32:6 |
|
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered
burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and
to drink, and rose up to play. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 32:7 |
|
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down;
for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted
themselves: |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:8 |
|
they have turned aside quickly out of the way
which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped
it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which
brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:9 |
|
And Jehovah said unto Moses, I have seen this
people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:10 |
|
now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may
wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great
nation. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:11 |
|
And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said,
Jehovah, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought
forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:12 |
|
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying,
For evil did he bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume
them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this
evil against thy people. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:13 |
|
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants,
to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply
your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will
I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:14 |
|
And Jehovah repented of the evil which he said
he would do unto his people. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:15 |
|
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount,
with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that were written on
both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:16 |
|
And the tables were the work of God, and the
writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:17 |
|
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people
as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:18 |
|
And he said, It is not the voice of them that
shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome;
but the noise of them that sing do I hear. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:19 |
|
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh
unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot,
and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 32:20 |
|
And he took the calf which they had made, and
burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and
made the children of Israel drink of it. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 32:21 |
|
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people
unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them? |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:22 |
|
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord
wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:23 |
|
For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall
go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land
of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:24 |
|
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold,
let them break it off: so they gave it me; and I cast it into the fire, and there
came out this calf. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:25 |
|
And when Moses saw that the people were broken
loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,) |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:26 |
|
then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and
said, Whoso is on Jehovah's side, let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi
gathered themselves together unto him. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:27 |
|
And he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the
God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from
gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man
his companion, and every man his neighbor. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:28 |
|
And the sons of Levi did according to the word
of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:29 |
|
And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to-day
to Jehovah, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may
bestow upon you a blessing this day. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:30 |
|
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses
said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto Jehovah;
peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:31 |
|
And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Oh,
this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:32 |
|
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin-; and
if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:33 |
|
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath
sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:34 |
|
And now go, lead the people unto the place of
which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless
in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 32:35 |
|
And Jehovah smote the people, because they made
the calf, which Aaron made. |
