32:16. And made by the work of God; the writing also of God was graven
in the tables.
32:17. And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to
Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
32:18. But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight,
nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of
singers.
32:19. And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the
dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and
broke them at the foot of the mount:
32:20. And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and
beat it to powder, which he strewed into water, and gave thereof to the
children of Israel to drink.
32:21. And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that
thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
32:22. And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended; for thou
knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.
32:23. They said to me: make us gods, that may go before us; for as to
this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not
what is befallen him.
32:24. And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and
brought it to me; and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.
32:25. And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had
stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them
naked among their enemies)
Naked... Having lost not only their gold, and their honour, but what was
worst of all, being stripped also of the grace of God, and having lost
him.-The shame of the filth... That is, of the idol, which they had
taken for their god. It is the usual phrase of the scripture to call
idols filth and abominations.
32:26. Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on
the Lord's side, let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together unto him:
32:27. And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every
man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through
the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend,
and neighbour.
32:28. And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and
there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.
32:29. And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the
Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be
given to you.
32:30. And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You
have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means
I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
32:31. And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people
hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of
gold: either forgive them this trespass,
32:32. Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast
written.
32:33. And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him
will I strike out of my book:
32:34. But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my
angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this
sin also of theirs.
32:35. The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt, on occasion
of the calf which Aaron had made.
Exodus Chapter 33
