Exodus 32:23-25

Revised Geneva Translation

²³ “And they said to me, ‘Make us gods to go before us. For we do not know what has become of this Moses (the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt).’

²⁴ “Then I said to them, ‘You who have gold, tear it off.’ And they brought it to me; and I cast it into the fire, and out came this calf.”

²⁵ Therefore, Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had made them unrestrained, to their shame among their enemies).
