Exodus 32:2-4

New Century Version

² Aaron said to the people, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, sons, and daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” ³ So all the people took their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron. ⁴ He took the gold from the people and formed it with a tool and made a statue of a calf. Then the people said, “Israel, these are your gods who brought you out of the land of Egypt!”
