Exodus 32:22-24 ▼

22 Aaron replied, “Do not let my lord be angry. You know how the people are prone to evil.

23 They said to me, ‘Make us a god to go before us; as for this man Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’

24 So I told them, ‘Whoever is wearing gold, take it off.’ They gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
