And seeing that Moses passed time to come down from out of the mountain, stood together by Aaron, and they say to him, Rise up and make for us gods! the ones who will go before us. For Moses, this man who led us from out of of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.
And says Remove the ear-rings the ones in the ears of your wives, and daughters; and bring me!
And removed the ones in their ears, and they brought them to Aaron.
And he took them from out of their hands, and he shaped them with the stylus. And he made it calf And they said, These are your gods, O Israel, who hauled you from out of of Egypt.
And seeing, Aaron built an altar over against it. And Aaron proclaimed, saying, A holiday of the lord is tomorrow.
And rising early in the next day, he offered whole burnt-offerings, and he offered of deliverance. And sat to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.
And to Moses, saying, Proceed quickly! to go down from here, acted lawlessly whom you led from of Egypt.
They violate quickly from the way which I gave charge to them; they made to themselves a calf, and they do obeisance to it, and they have sacrificed to it. And they said, These are your gods, O Israel, who hauled you from of Egypt.
And now allow me! for being enraged in anger against them, I will obliterate them.
And I will make you into nation
And Moses beseeched in front of God, and said, Why, O lord, be enraged in anger against your people, whom you led from out of of Egypt in strength and with arm
lest at any time should say in saying, With wickedness he led them to kill them in the mountains, and to completely consume them from the earth. Cease in the anger of your rage, and propitious to the evil of your people!
remembering Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob your servants, to whom you swore by an oath to them according to yourself. And you spoke to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and all this land which you spoke of to give it their seed, they shall hold it into the eon.
And concerning the bad which he said he would do to his people.
And Moses returning, went down from the mountain along two tablets of the testimony in his hands - tablets of stone, having been written on both their parts; on this side and that side they were written.
And the tablets a work and the writing, a writing chiseled in the tablets.
And Joshua hearing the voice of the people crying out, says to Moses, of war in the camp.
And he says, It is not a sound originating from strength, nor a sound originating by a routing of the enemy, but a sound originating from wine I hear.
And when he approached the camp, he sees the calf and the company of dancers. And being provoked to anger tossed from his hands the two tablets, and he broke them below the mountain.
And having taken the calf which they made, he incinerated it and ground it fine, and sowed it upon the water, and made drink
And Moses said to Aaron, What did do that you brought upon them sin
And Aaron said to Moses, provoked to anger, O master! for you know the impulse of this people.
For they say to me, Make us gods! which shall go before us, for Moses who led us out of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.
And I said to them, Anyone who possesses pieces of gold, remove them! And they gave them to me, and I tossed them into the fire, and there came forth this calf.
And Moses seeing the people, that they have been dispersed, dispersed to their opponents.
Moses stood at the gate of the camp, and he said, Who Come to me! came together
And he says to them, Thus says God of Israel, Let put a broadsword upon his thigh! And let him go through and return from gate to gate through the camp! and let kill his brethren, and each his neighbor, and each the one nearest him!
And did as said And there fell of the people in that day three thousand males.
And said You filled your hands today to the lord; each one on and to give upon you a blessing.
And it came to pass after the next morning, Moses said to the people, You have sinned sin And now I will ascend to God, that I might make atonement on account of your sin.
returned to and said, I beseech O lord, have sinned and made to themselves golden gods.
And now, if forasmuch as you forgive them of their sin - forgive! But if not, wipe me away from out of your book of which you wrote!
And to Moses, If any sin before me, I will wipe them from out of my book.
And now, proceed, and guide this people into the place which I told to you! Behold, my angel shall go forth before your face, and in whatever day I should visit, I will bring upon them their sin.
And the people on account of the making of the calf, which Aaron made.
