And His truth endures to all generations.

27 And the Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness (A)to meet Moses.” So he went and met him on (B)the mountain of God, and kissed him. 28 So Moses (C)told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the (D)signs which He had commanded him. 29 Then Moses and Aaron (E)went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel. 30 (F)And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. Then he did the signs in the sight of the people. 31 So the people (G)believed; and when they heard that the Lord had (H)visited the children of Israel and that He (I)had looked on their affliction, then (J)they bowed their heads and worshiped.

29 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders(C) of the Israelites, 30 and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses.

35 “This Moses whom they rejected, saying, (A)‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer (B)by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 (C)He brought them out, after he had (D)shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, (E)and in the Red Sea, (F)and in the wilderness forty years.

Israel Rebels Against God

37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, (G)‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. (H)Him[a] you shall hear.’

38 (I)“This is he who was in the [b]congregation in the wilderness with (J)the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, (K)the one who received the living (L)oracles[c] to give to us, 39 whom our fathers (M)would not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt, 40 (N)saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ 41 (O)And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and (P)rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42 Then (Q)God turned and gave them up to worship (R)the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:

(S)‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And (T)I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’

35 “This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’(A) He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 He led them out of Egypt(B) and performed wonders and signs(C) in Egypt, at the Red Sea(D) and for forty years in the wilderness.(E)

37 “This is the Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own people.’[a](F) 38 He was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel(G) who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors;(H) and he received living words(I) to pass on to us.(J)

39 “But our ancestors refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.(K) 40 They told Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’[b](L) 41 That was the time they made an idol in the form of a calf. They brought sacrifices to it and reveled in what their own hands had made.(M) 42 But God turned away from them(N) and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars.(O) This agrees with what is written in the book of the prophets:

“‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
    forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
43 You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek
    and the star of your god Rephan,
    the idols you made to worship.
Therefore I will send you into exile’[c](P) beyond Babylon.

  3. Acts 7:43 Amos 5:25-27 (see Septuagint)

35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
