2 And Aaron said unto them, [a]Pluck 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 Then all the people plucked from [b]themselves the golden earrings, which were in their ears, and they brought them unto Aaron.
4 (A)Who received them at their hands, and fashioned it with the graving tool, and made of it a [c]molten calf: then they said, (B)These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
