1 When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron. They said to him, |We don't know what has happened to this Moses, who led us out of Egypt. Make gods who will lead us.| 2 Aaron said to them, |Have your wives, sons, and daughters take off the gold earrings they are wearing, and bring them to me.| 3 So all the people took off their gold earrings and handed them to Aaron. 4 After he had worked on the gold with a tool, he made it into a statue of a calf. Then they said, |Israel, here are your gods who brought you out of Egypt.| Exodus 32:1-4, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
