Exodus 32:2-4 ▼

2 So Aaron (light bringer) told them, “Take off the gold earrings that are on your⁺ wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”

3 Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron (light bringer).

4 He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel (he wrestles with God), are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt (land of bondage)!”
