1	And when the people saw# that Moses delayed# to come down# out of 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 wot# not what is become of him.
			2	And Aaron said# unto them, Break off# the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring# them unto me.
			3	And all the people brake off# the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought# them unto Aaron.
			4	And he received# them at their hand, and fashioned# it with a graving tool, after he had made# it a molten calf: and they said# , These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought# thee up out of the land of Egypt.
			5	And when Aaron saw# it , he built# an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation# , and said# , To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
			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# .
			7	And the LORD said# unto Moses, Go# , get thee down# ; for thy people, which thou broughtest# out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted# themselves :
			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# thereunto, and said# , These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up# out of the land of Egypt.
			9	And the LORD said# unto Moses, I have seen# this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked# people:
			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.
			11	And Moses besought# # the LORD his God, and said# , LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot# against thy people, which thou hast brought forth# out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? [the LORD: Heb. the face of the LORD]
			12	Wherefore should the Egyptians speak# , and say# , For mischief did he bring# them out, 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.
			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.
			14	And the LORD repented# of the evil which he thought# to do# unto his people.
			15	And Moses turned# , and went down# from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written# on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written# .
			16	And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven# upon the tables.
			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.
			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# . [being...: Heb. weakness]
			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.
			20	And he took# the calf which they had made# , and burnt# it in the fire, and ground# it to powder# , and strawed# it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink# of it .
			21	And Moses said# unto Aaron, What did# this people unto thee, that thou hast brought# so great a sin upon them?
			22	And Aaron said# , Let not the anger of my lord wax hot# : thou knowest# the people, that they are set on mischief.
			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 wot# not what is become of him.
			24	And I said# unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break# it off. So they gave# it me: then I cast# it into the fire, and there came out# this calf.
			25	And when Moses saw# that the people were naked# ; (for Aaron had made them naked# unto their shame among their enemies# :) [their enemies: Heb. those that rose up against them]
			26	Then Moses stood# in the gate of the camp, and said# , Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered# themselves together unto him.
			27	And he said# unto them, Thus saith# the LORD God of Israel, Put# every man his sword by his side, and go# in and out# from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay# every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
			28	And the children of Levi did# according to the word of Moses: and there fell# of the people that day about three thousand men.
			29	For Moses had said# , Consecrate yourselves# # to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow# upon you a blessing this day. [For Moses...: or, And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, because every man hath been against his brother, etc] [Consecrate...: Heb. Fill your hands]
			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 the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement# for your sin.
			31	And Moses returned# unto the LORD, and said# , Oh, this people have sinned# a great sin, and have made# them gods of gold.
			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# .
			33	And the LORD said# unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned# against me, him will I blot out# of my book.
			34	Therefore 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.
			35	And the LORD plagued# the people, because they made# the calf, which Aaron made# .
