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.| 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of it and announced, |Tomorrow there will be a festival in the LORD's honor.| 6 Early the next day the people sacrificed burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. Afterward, they sat down to a feast, which turned into an orgy. 7 The LORD said to Moses, |Go back down there. Your people whom you brought out of Egypt have ruined [everything]. 8 They've already turned from the way I commanded them to live. They've made a statue of a calf for themselves. They've bowed down to it and offered sacrifices to it. They've said, 'Israel, here are your gods who brought you out of Egypt.'| Exodus 32:4-8, God's Word Translation.
