Exodus 30-32
Maori Bible
30 A me hanga e koe he aata hei tahunga mea kakara: ko te rakau e hanga ai he hitimi.
2 Kia kotahi whatianga te roa, kia kotahi hoki whatianga te whanui; kia tapawha: kia rua whatianga te teitei: no taua mea ra ano nga haona.
3 Me whakakikorua ki te koura parakore a runga me ona taha a taka noa, me ona haona hoki; me hanga ano te niao koura a tawhio noa.
4 Me hanga ano etahi mowhiti koura mona kia rua, mo raro i tona niao, ki ona koki e rua, me hanga ki ona taha e rua, hei kuhunga mo nga amo, hei amohanga.
5 He hitimi ano hoki te rakau e hanga ai e koe nga amo, me whakakikorua ki te koura.
6 Ka whakatu ai ki mua o te arai, o tera i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, ki mua o te taupoki i runga o te whakaaturanga, o te wahi e tutaki ai ahau ki a koe.
7 A me tahu e Arona he whakakakara reka ki runga, i tenei ata, i tenei ata: me tahu e ia te whakakakara ki runga, ina whakapaia e ia nga rama.
8 A ka tahuna e Arona nga rama i te ahiahi, me tahu he whakakakara ki runga i taua aata, he whakakakara e mau tonu ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa i o koutou whakatupuranga.
9 Kei whakaekea he whakakakara ke ki runga, he tahunga tinana ranei, he whakahere totokore ranei; kaua ano e ringihia he ringihanga ki runga.
10 Na, ka whakamarie a Arona ki runga ki ona haona, kia kotahi te meatanga i te tau: ka whakamarie ia ki te toto o te whakahere hara o te whakamarie ki runga ki taua mea, kia kotahi te meatanga i te tau, puta noa i o koutou whakatupuranga: he mea t apu rawa tena ki a Ihowa.
11 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
12 E taua e koe nga tangata o nga tama a Iharaira, ara nga mea o ratou e taua ana, me homai e tera, e tera, he utu mo tona wairua ki a Ihowa, ina taua ratou; kia kore ai he whiu i roto i a ratou ina taua.
13 Ko tenei ta ratou e homai ai, ko nga tangata katoa e haere ana ki roto ki te hunga kua taua, hei te hawhe o te hekere, o te hekere o te wahi hekere kotahi: hei te hawhe hekere te whakahere ki a Ihowa.
14 Ko nga tangata katoa e haere ana ki roto ki te hunga kua taua, ko nga mea e rua tekau o ratou tau, me nga mea i maha atu, me homai e ratou he whakahere ki a Ihowa.
15 E kore e maha ake a te tangata taonga, e kore ano hoki e torutoru iho i te hawhe hekere a te rawakore, ina homai he whakahere ki a Ihowa, hei whakamarie mo o koutou wairua.
16 Na me tango e koe te moni whakamarie a nga tama a Iharaira, a ka waiho mo nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga; a hei whakamahara tena ki nga tama a Iharaira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakamarie mo o koutou wairua.
17 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
18 Me hanga ano e koe he takotoranga wai ki te parahi, ki te parahi ano hoki tona turanga, hei horoinga: ka whakatu ai ki te takiwa o te aata o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me riringi ano he wai ki roto.
19 A me horoi o ratou ringa me o ratou waewae e Arona ratou ko ana tama ki reira.
20 Ka haere ratou ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me horoi ratou ki te wai, kei mate; ki te whakatata ranei ratou ki te aata ki te minita, ki te tahu i te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa:
21 Na ka horoi i o ratou ringa, i o ratou waewae, kei mate; a ka waiho hei tikanga pumau ma ratou, mana, ma ona uri, i o ratou whakatupuranga.
22 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
23 Tikina mau he tino mea kakara, he maira pai, kia rima rau hekere, he hinamona reka, me hawhe tera, ara kia rua rau kia rima tekau hekere, me te karamuha reka, kia rua rau kia rima tekau hekere,
24 He kahia hoki, kia rima rau hekere, ki nga hekere o te wahi tapu, me te hinu oriwa, kia kotahi hine:
25 A me hanga e koe hei hinu mo te whakawahinga tapu, he hinu whakaranu, he mea kakara, ko ta te kaiwhakaranu e hanga ai: ka waiho hei hinu mo te whakawahinga tapu:
26 Ka whakawahia ai te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me te aaka hoki o te whakaaturanga,
27 Me te tepu, me nga oko katoa i runga, me te turanga rama, me ona oko, me te aata whakakakara,
28 Me te aata tahunga tinana, me ona oko katoa, me te takotoranga wai, me tona turanga.
29 A me whakatapu kia tino tapu: ka tapu nga mea katoa e pa ana ki aua mea.
30 Me whakawahi ano e koe a Arona ratou ko ana tama, me whakatapu hoki ratou hei tohunga maku.
31 Me korero ano e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, me ki atu, Hei hinu tenei maku, mo te whakawahinga tapu i o koutou whakatupuranga.
32 Kei ringihia ki te kikokiko tangata, kei hanga ano tetahi mea pena, e rite ana ki tona hanganga: he tapu tena, a ka tapu ki a koutou.
33 Ki te whakaranua e te tangata tetahi mea pena; ki te maka ranei e ia ki runga ki te tangata ke, ina, ka hatepea atu ia i roto i tona iwi.
34 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tikina mau he mea kakara, he takete, he oneka, he karapanuma; enei mea kakara me te parakihe parakore; kia rite te taimaha o tetahi, o tetahi:
35 Ka whakaranu ai hei mea kakara, ko ta te kaiwhakaranu e hanga ai, he mea rongoa ki te tote, he mea parakore, he mea tapu:
36 Na ka tukia tetahi wahi kia ririki rawa, ka whakatakoto ai i tetahi wahi ki mua mai o te whakaaturanga i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te wahi e tutaki ai ahau ki a koe: hei mea tino tapu tena ki a koutou.
37 A ko taua mea kakara ka hanga nei e koe, kei hanga tetahi ma koutou he rite te hanganga ki to tera: hei mea tapu tena ki a koe ma Ihowa.
38 Ki te hanga e te tangata he mea pena, hei honginga mana, ka hatepea atu ia i roto i tona iwi.
31 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
2 Titiro, kua whakahuatia nei e ahau te ingoa o Petareere, tama a Uri, ko ia nei he tama na Huru, no te iwi o Hura:
3 Kua whakakiia ano ia e ahau ki te wairua o te Atua, ki te ngakau tupato, ki te whakaaro, ki te mohio, ki nga mahi katoa hoki,
4 Hei whakaaro ki nga mahi a te tohunga, hei mahi i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te parahi,
5 Mo te whakairo kohatu hoki, mo te whakanoho hoki, mo te whakairo rakau, mo te mahi ano hoki i nga mahi katoa.
6 Na, tenei ano te hoatu nei e ahau hei hoa mona a Ahoriapa tama a Ahihamaka, no te iwi o Rana: kua whakanohoia ano e ahau he mahara ki nga ngakau o te hunga ngakau mahara katoa, hei hanga i nga mea katoa i whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koe;
7 I te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, i tona taupoki, i nga mea katoa o te tapenakara,
8 I te tepu, i ona mea, i te turanga parakore o nga rama, i ona mea katoa, i te aata mo te whakakakara,
9 I te aata mo te tahunga tinana, i ona mea katoa, i te takotoranga wai raua ko tona turanga.
10 I nga kakahu mo te mahi minita, i nga kakahu tapu mo Arona, mo te tohunga, i nga kakahu mo ana tama, mo te mahi tohunga,
11 I te hinu whakawahi, i te whakakakara reka mo te wahi tapu: kia rite ta ratou e mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua atu e ahau ki a koe.
12 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
13 Korero ano ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Me whakarite ano e koutou aku hapati: hei tohu hoki ki waenganui oku, o koutou, i o koutou whakatupuranga: kia mohio ai ko ahau, ko Ihowa, te whakatapu nei i a koutou.
14 Na me whakarite te hapati; he tapu hoki tena ki a koutou: he mate kau mo te tangata e whakanoa ana i taua ra: ko te tangata hoki e mahi ana i tetahi mahi i reira, ina, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i tona iwi.
15 E ono nga ra e mahia ai te mahi; kei te whitu ia o nga ra te hapati okiokinga, he tapu ki a Ihowa: ko te tangata e mahi ana i tetahi mahi i te ra hapati he mate kau mona.
16 Mo reira me mahara nga tama a Iharaira ki te hapati, kia whakaritea te hapati i o ratou whakatupuranga: kia mau tonu tenei kawenata.
17 He tohu tena ra ki waenganui oku, o nga tama a Iharaira, ake ake: e ono hoki nga ra i hanga ai e Ihowa te rangi me te whenua, a i te whitu o nga ra ka okioki, a ta ana tona manawa.
18 I homai ano e ia ki a Mohi, i te mutunga o tana korero ki a ia i runga i Maunga Hinai, e rua nga papa whakaaturanga, he papa kohatu, he mea tuhituhi na te ringa o te Atua.
32 A, no te kitenga o te iwi i roa te hekenga iho o Mohi i runga i te maunga, ka huihui te iwi ki a Arona, ka mea ki a ia, Whakatika, hanga etahi atua mo tatou, hei haere i mua i a tatou; ko tenei Mohi hoki, ko te tangata nana tatou i kawe mai ki ru nga nei i te whenua o Ihipa, kahore tatou e mohio kua ahatia ranei ia.
2 Na ka mea a Arona ki a ratou, Whakiia mai nga whakakai koura i nga taringa o a koutou wahine, o a koutou tama, o a koutou tamahine, ka kawe mai ki ahau.
3 Na whakiia ana e te iwi katoa nga whakakai koura i o ratou taringa, a kawea ana mai ki a Arona.
4 Na ka tangohia e ia i o ratou ringa, a whakaahuatia ana e ia ki te purupuru tana kuao kau i whakarewa ai: na ka mea ratou, Ko ou atua enei, e Iharaira, nana nei koe i kawe mai ki runga nei i te whenua o Ihipa.
5 A, no te kitenga o Arona, hanga ana e ia tetahi aata ki mua i taua mea; a ka karanga a Arona, ka mea, Ko apopo he hakari ki a Ihowa.
6 Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te aonga ake, a whakaekea ana he tahunga tinana, i kawea ano he whakahere mo te pai; na ka noho te iwi ki te kai, ki te inu, a ka whakatika ki te takaro.
7 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere, heke atu, kua he hoki tou iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Ihipa:
8 Kua hohoro ratou te peka ke i te huarahi i kiia e ahau ki a ratou: kua hanga ma ratou he kuao kau, he mea whakarewa, kua koropiko ki taua mea, kua patu whakahere mana, a e mea ana, Ko ou atua enei, e Iharaira, i kawea mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihi pa.
9 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kua kite ahau i tenei iwi, na, he iwi kaki maro ratou:
10 Na, tukua atu ahau, a ka mura toku riri ki a ratou, a ka pau ratou i ahau: ka hanga ano koe hei iwi nui.
11 Na ka inoi a Mohi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ka mea, He aha tou riri i mura ai, e Ihowa, ki tau iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o ihipa i runga i te kaha nui, i te ringa maro?
12 Ha, kia korero nga Ihipiana, kia mea, He whakaputanga atu ki te he tana i a ratou, kia whakamatea ai ratou ki nga maunga, kia whakangaromia atu ai i te mata o te whenua? Tahuri i tou riri nui e mura nei, kia puta ke hoki tou whakaaro ki tenei ki no mo tau iwi.
13 Kia mahara ki au pononga, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Iharaira, ki tau oatitanga hoki i a koe ki a ratou, ki tau meatanga ki a ratou, Ka whakanuia e ahau o koutou uri kia rite ki nga whetu o te rangi; ko tenei whenua katoa hoki i korerotia atu nei e ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ki o koutou uri, a ka nohoia e ratou ake ake.
14 Na ka puta ke ta Ihowa i whakaaro ai mo te kino i kiia e ia kia meatia ki tana iwi.
15 Na ka tahuri a Mohi, ka heke iho i te maunga, me nga papa e rua o te whakaaturanga i tona ringa: he mea tuhi nga taha e rua o nga papa; i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha te tuhi.
16 He mea mahi hoki na te Atua aua papa, me te tuihituhi hoki, na te Atua te tuhituhi, he mea whaowhao ki nga papa.
17 A ka rongo a Hohua i te reo o te iwi e hamama ana, ka mea ki a Mohi, He nge whawhai kei te puni ra.
18 Na ka mea ia, Ehara tera reo i te hamama mo te hinganga o te taua, ehara hoki tera reo i te hamama o te hunga e hinga ana: he reo waiata taku e rongo nei.
19 A ka tata ia ki te puni, na, ka kite ia i te kuao kau, i te kanikani: na ka mura te riri o Mohi, a ka maka atu e ia nga papa i roto i ona ringa, a pakarua ana aua mea e ia i raro i te maunga.
20 Na ka tango ia i te kuao kau i hanga e ratou, a tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi, a hurihia ana a ngotangota noa, a ruiruia ana e ia ki te wai, whakainumia atu ana ma nga tama a Iharaira.
21 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, I aha tenei iwi ki a koe, i takina ai e koe tenei hara nui ki a ratou?
22 A ka mea a Arona, Kei mura mai te riri o toku ariki: e mohio ana koe ki tenei iwi, mo te kino tonu ratou.
23 I mea hoki ratou ki ahau, Hanga etahi atua mo tatou hei haere i mua i a tatou: ko tenei Mohi hoki, ko te tangata nana nei tatou i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa, kahore tatou e mohio kua ahatia ranei ia.
24 Na ka mea ahau ki a ratou, Ki te mea he koura to tetahi, whakiia mai. Na ka homai e ratou ki ahau: a maka ana e ahau ki te ahi; a puta ake ko te kuao kau nei.
25 A, i te kitenga o Mohi i te iwi e korara noa ana, na Arona hoki ratou i tuku kia korara, hei taunu ma o ratou hoariri:
26 Na, ka tu a Mohi ki te kuwaha o te puni, ka mea, Ko wai to Ihowa? haere mai ki ahau. Na ka huihui nga tama katoa a Riwai ki a ia.
27 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Whakanohoia e tera, e tera, tana hoari ki tona huha, a haere atu, hoki mai, i tetahi kuwaha ki tetahi kuwaha, i waenga puni, a patua e tera tona teina, e tera tona hoa, e t era tona hoa e noho tata ana.
28 Na rite tonu ki te kupu a Mohi ta nga tama a Riwai i mea ai: a tata tonu ki te toru mano nga tangata i hinga i taua rangi.
29 Na Mohi hoki i mea, Hei runga i tana tama, i tona teina, te whakatohungatanga ki a Ihowa o tera, o tera, o koutou aianei; kia homai ai e ia he manaaki ki a koutou aianei.
30 Na, i te aonga ake, ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, Kua hara koutou, he nui te hara: na, me haere ahau aianei ki runga, ki a Ihowa; tera pea e taea e ahau te whakamarie mo to koutou hara.
31 Na ka hoki a Mohi ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Aue! kua hara tenei iwi, he nui te hara, kua hanga hoki e ratou etahi atua koura mo ratou.
32 Na, mau e horoi to ratou hara; a ki te kahore, tena ra, horoia atu ahau i roto i tau pukapuka i tuhituhia e koe.
33 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Ko te tangata e hara ana ki ahau, ka horoia atu ia e ahau i roto i taku pukapuka.
34 Na haere ra, arahina atu te iwi ki te wahi i korerotia atu e ahau ki a koe: tena taku anahera te haere atu na i mua i a koe; ahakoa ra, ko a te ra e mea ai ahau, ina, ka meinga e ahau to ratou hara kia tau ki runga ki a ratou.
35 Na ka whiua e Ihowa te iwi mo ta ratou hanganga i te kuao kau, i hanga nei e Arona.
Exodus 30-32
New International Version
Exodus 30-32
New International Version
The Altar of Incense(A)
30 “Make an altar(B) of acacia wood for burning incense.(C) 2 It is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high[a]—its horns(D) of one piece with it. 3 Overlay the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it.(E) 4 Make two gold rings(F) for the altar below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it. 5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.(G) 6 Put the altar in front of the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law—before the atonement cover(H) that is over the tablets of the covenant law—where I will meet with you.
7 “Aaron must burn fragrant incense(I) on the altar every morning when he tends the lamps. 8 He must burn incense again when he lights the lamps at twilight so incense will burn regularly before the Lord for the generations to come.(J) 9 Do not offer on this altar any other incense(K) or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it. 10 Once a year(L) Aaron shall make atonement(M) on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering[b](N) for the generations to come.(O) It is most holy to the Lord.”
Atonement Money
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “When you take a census(P) of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the Lord a ransom(Q) for his life at the time he is counted. Then no plague(R) will come on them when you number them. 13 Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel,[c] according to the sanctuary shekel,(S) which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the Lord. 14 All who cross over, those twenty years old or more,(T) are to give an offering to the Lord. 15 The rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less(U) when you make the offering to the Lord to atone for your lives. 16 Receive the atonement(V) money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the tent of meeting.(W) It will be a memorial(X) for the Israelites before the Lord, making atonement for your lives.”
Basin for Washing
17 Then the Lord said to Moses, 18 “Make a bronze basin,(Y) with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet(Z) with water(AA) from it. 20 Whenever they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die.(AB) Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the Lord, 21 they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance(AC) for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”(AD)
Anointing Oil
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, 23 “Take the following fine spices:(AE) 500 shekels[d] of liquid myrrh,(AF) half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon,(AG) 250 shekels[e] of fragrant calamus,(AH) 24 500 shekels(AI) of cassia(AJ)—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin[f] of olive oil. 25 Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer.(AK) It will be the sacred anointing oil.(AL) 26 Then use it to anoint(AM) the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law, 27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense, 28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. 29 You shall consecrate them(AN) so they will be most holy, and whatever touches them will be holy.(AO)
30 “Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate(AP) them so they may serve me as priests.(AQ) 31 Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil(AR) for the generations to come.(AS) 32 Do not pour it on anyone else’s body and do not make any other oil using the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred.(AT) 33 Whoever makes perfume like it and puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off(AU) from their people.’”
Incense
34 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices(AV)—gum resin, onycha and galbanum—and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts, 35 and make a fragrant blend of incense,(AW) the work of a perfumer.(AX) It is to be salted and pure and sacred. 36 Grind some of it to powder and place it in front of the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, where I will meet(AY) with you. It shall be most holy(AZ) to you. 37 Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy(BA) to the Lord. 38 Whoever makes incense like it to enjoy its fragrance must be cut off(BB) from their people.”
Bezalel and Oholiab(BC)
31 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel(BD) son of Uri, the son of Hur,(BE) of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge(BF) and with all kinds of skills(BG)— 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. 6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab(BH) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan,(BI) to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers(BJ) to make everything I have commanded you: 7 the tent of meeting,(BK) the ark of the covenant law(BL) with the atonement cover(BM) on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— 8 the table(BN) and its articles, the pure gold lampstand(BO) and all its accessories, the altar of incense,(BP) 9 the altar of burnt offering(BQ) and all its utensils, the basin(BR) with its stand— 10 and also the woven garments(BS), both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, 11 and the anointing oil(BT) and fragrant incense(BU) for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded(BV) you.”
The Sabbath
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths.(BW) This will be a sign(BX) between me and you for the generations to come,(BY) so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.(BZ)
14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death;(CA) those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work(CB) is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest,(CC) holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath,(CD) celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign(CE) between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.(CF)’”(CG)
18 When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai,(CH) he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone(CI) inscribed by the finger of God.(CJ)
The Golden Calf
32 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain,(CK) they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods[g] who will go before(CL) us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.”(CM)
2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings(CN) that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol(CO) cast in the shape of a calf,(CP) fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods,[h](CQ) Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”(CR)
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival(CS) to the Lord.” 6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings.(CT) Afterward they sat down to eat and drink(CU) and got up to indulge in revelry.(CV)
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt,(CW) have become corrupt.(CX) 8 They have been quick to turn away(CY) from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol(CZ) cast in the shape of a calf.(DA) They have bowed down to it and sacrificed(DB) to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’(DC)
9 “I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked(DD) people. 10 Now leave me alone(DE) so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy(DF) them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”(DG)
11 But Moses sought the favor(DH) of the Lord his God. “Lord,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?(DI) 12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’?(DJ) Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster(DK) on your people. 13 Remember(DL) your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self:(DM) ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars(DN) in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land(DO) I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” 14 Then the Lord relented(DP) and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.
15 Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant law(DQ) in his hands.(DR) They were inscribed(DS) on both sides, front and back. 16 The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.(DT)
17 When Joshua(DU) heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “There is the sound of war in the camp.”
18 Moses replied:
“It is not the sound of victory,
it is not the sound of defeat;
it is the sound of singing that I hear.”
19 When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf(DV) and the dancing,(DW) his anger burned(DX) and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces(DY) at the foot of the mountain. 20 And he took the calf the people had made and burned(DZ) it in the fire; then he ground it to powder,(EA) scattered it on the water(EB) and made the Israelites drink it.
21 He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?”
22 “Do not be angry,(EC) my lord,” Aaron answered. “You know how prone these people are to evil.(ED) 23 They said to me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.’(EE) 24 So I told them, ‘Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.’ Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!”(EF)
25 Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock(EG) to their enemies. 26 So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites rallied to him.
27 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’”(EH) 28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. 29 Then Moses said, “You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.”
30 The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin.(EI) But now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement(EJ) for your sin.”
31 So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed!(EK) They have made themselves gods of gold.(EL) 32 But now, please forgive their sin(EM)—but if not, then blot me(EN) out of the book(EO) you have written.”
33 The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out(EP) of my book. 34 Now go, lead(EQ) the people to the place(ER) I spoke of, and my angel(ES) will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish,(ET) I will punish them for their sin.”
35 And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf(EU) Aaron had made.
