Exodus 32:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ Moses said, “That doesn't sound like a shout of victory or a cry of defeat; it's the sound of singing.”

¹⁹ When Moses came close enough to the camp to see the bull-calf and to see the people dancing, he became furious. There at the foot of the mountain, he threw down the tablets he was carrying and broke them. ²⁰ He took the bull-calf which they had made, melted it, ground it into fine powder, and mixed it with water. Then he made the people of Israel drink it.
