Exodus 32:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ So I told them, ‘Anyone who has any gold jewelry, take it off.’ They gave me the gold. I threw it into the fire. And out came this calf!”

²⁵ Moses saw that the people were running wild. Aaron had let them get out of control. The people had become a joke to their enemies. ²⁶ Moses stood at the entrance to the camp. He said, “Anyone on the Lord’s side, come to me.” All the Levites joined him.
