² And Aaron said to them, “^(A)Tear off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.”

⁴ And he took this from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a ^(A)molten calf; and they said, “^[a]These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”

³ And he then returned the 1,100 pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, “I wholly set apart the silver from my hand as holy to Yahweh for my son ^(A)to make a graven image and a molten image; so now I will return ^[a]them to you.” ⁴ So he returned the silver to his mother, and his mother took 200 pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith. And he made ^[b]them into a graven image and a molten image, and ^[c]they were in the house of Micah.
