zAnd he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden1 calf. And they said, aThese are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!

And they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. And cthe people sat down to eat and drink and rose up dto play.


Exodus 32:17–19

17 When vJoshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18 But he said, It is not the sound of wshouting for victory, or the sound of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing that I hear. 19 And as soon as he came near the camp and xsaw the calf and the dancing, Moses’ anger burned hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.
