Exodus 32:22-24

Modern English Version

²² Aaron said, “Do not let the anger of my lord burn. You know that the people are set on evil. ²³ For they said to me, ‘Make a god for us which will go before us, for this Moses, the man that brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ ²⁴ I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.’ So they gave it to me, and then I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.’ ”
