So Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.”

And Aaron said, “Let not the anger of my lord burn hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.

And Aaron said to Moses, “Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and yet such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would the Lord have approved?”

And Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned.
