21 And Moses will say to Aaron, What did this people to thee that thou didst bring upon it a great sin? 22 And Aaron will say, The wrath of my lord shall not kindle: thou knowest the people that it is in sin. 23 And they will say to me; Make to us gods which shall go before us: for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we knew not what was to him. 24 And I said to them, To whom is gold, he shall break it off. And they will give it to me, and I shall cast it into the fire and this calf will come out. 25 And Moses will see the people that it was uncovered (for Aaron uncovered it for overthrow among their enemies). 26 And Moses will stand in the gate of the camp, and will say, Who for Jehovah? to me. And all the sons of Levi will assemble together to him. 27 And he will say to them, Thus said Jehovah the God of Israel, Put ye each his sword upon his thigh, and pass ye through and turn ye back from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye each his brother, and each his friend, and each his near one. 28 And the sons of Levi will do according to the word of Moses: and there will fall from the people in that day about three thousand men. 29 And Moses will say, Fill your hand this day to Jehovah, for each upon his son and upon his brother, to give to you a blessing this day. 30 And it shall be from the morrow, and Moses will say to the people, Ye sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to Jehovah; perhaps I shall expiate for your sin. 31 And Moses will turn back to Jehovah, and say, Ah, now, this people sinned a great sin, and they will make to them golden gods. 32 And now if thou wilt, lift up their sin; and if not, wipe me off from thy book which thou didst write. 33 And Jehovah will say to Moses, whoever that sinned against me I will wipe him off from my book. 34 And now go, lead the people to where I spake to thee: behold, my messenger shall go before thee: and in the day of my reviewing, and I reviewed upon them their sin. 35 And Jehovah will smite the people for their making the calf which Aaron made.
